Description

As indicated in the report published by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), changes have been observed in climate indicators, including, but not limited to, alterations in temperature, variations in precipitation, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and an increase in extreme weather events. The UNFCCC (2022) identifies the following climate hazards: aridity, floods, tropical cyclones, extreme storms, high temperatures, forest fires, extreme cold, and landslides. The built environment is also subject to adverse effects resulting from extreme climate events. The present study will concentrate on research that challenges the aforementioned assessment by addressing the impact of climate change risks on buildings instead of evaluating the reduction of greenhouse gas emanations from buildings. The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the
progress and solutions to the global problem of rising average temperatures, a consequence of climate change, in the built environment. To this end, it is necessary to examine the current literature on the effects of rising temperatures in this environment. Bibliometric analysis, a fundamental element of literature reviews, involves the systematic examination of scientific literature to identify trends, patterns, and impacts within a specific field of study. The bibliometric analysis technique has recently become popular due to its ability to comprehensively examine and evaluate large amounts of scientific data, and its use in research is increasing (Passas, 2024). The objectives of this bibliometric analysis include providing a comprehensive review of the impact of climate change risks on buildings.  This is achieved by identifying prevailing trends in the field, understanding its interdisciplinary nature, and determining prominent research topics within the field. By evaluating development trends, fundamental research topics, and the interdisciplinary nature of research conducted on the subject, the analysis helps
us understand the development of research in the field.
