Climate change and sustainable livelihood in South Asia: A bibliometric analysis.
Climate change is a global threat and poses significant risks to sustainable livelihoods, which require immediate attention. Several review papers have highlighted the nexus between climate change and sustainable livelihoods in recent years. Still lacking, nevertheless, is a thorough bibliometrics analysis of the topic. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by advancing our understanding of the previous research. For this purpose, the authors analysed 1411 articles indexed in Scopus between 2004 and 2023 using Bibliometric R and VOS viewer, two commonly used software tools for science mapping and bibliometrics analysis. The results show that, despite a consistent increase in research since 2007, the trends accelerated with the publication of the 2018 report on the assessment of climate change and sustainable livelihood.

Club convergence analysis of fossil fuels material footprint at the global level.
Fossil fuels material footprint (FFMF) remains a critical indicator of environment-friendly economic development. FFMF levels show considerable variations in economic growth worldwide as awareness of sustainability and climate change propagates. Although biomass/carbon emission convergence have been discussed extensively in the existing literature, FFMF convergence is still scanty despite its vital role in climate change. Hence, this study adds to the existing literature by examining the convergence of FFMF for 154 countries for the period from 1970 to 2019 using club convergence analysis. The results show that FFMF converges to a single steady state, stating a symmetric decline in FFMF growth.Thus, the demonstrated convergence of FFMF directs that global efforts regarding FFMF control should be continued. Moreover, future climate change policies should also be formulated to enhance the awareness of FFMF and long-term sustainability. Read Here
