Abstract :The purpose of this study is to provide a general framework for the intersection of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Climate Change by drawing on existing research that addresses these topics jointly. In this context, a bibliometric approach was employed, and scientific mapping techniques—specifically co-word and co-occurrence network analyses—were conducted using the Biblioshiny software on 396 valid studies retrieved from Web of Science database. The findings reveal that sustainability occupies a central position in CSR and climate change research. Moreover, sustainability is not limited to its environmental dimension but is also examined from social and economic perspectives. Another notable finding is that themes such as ESG, sustainability reporting, legitimacy theory, and climate change have emerged as trending topics in recent years. The co-occurrence network analysis identified several sub-clusters. The first encompasses climate change, corporate strategy, and carbon-related concepts, while the second highlights themes such as CSR, stakeholder management, and ethics.
