Abstract

The purpose of this research is driven by the impact of climate change, which affects many aspects. Several mitigation efforts were made but were considered less than optimal. Multilevel governance adaptation and digitalization are starting to be considered for issues around climate change. This tendency prompted this study to search for available research documents to check on these topics. The method used is a bibliometric analysis by maximizing the Vosviewer analysis tool. The findings of this study indicate that research trends related to multilevel governance have only recently been seriously studied by global researchers because of a change in perspective on the understanding that mitigation that has been implemented thus far is not sufficient to avoid climate change. The arguments then target a new pattern of climate change adaptation by developing policies focusing on multilevel climate change governance. This focus targets intercross-policy development. The topic of digitalization has just begun to be associated with climate change, with arguments for digitalization opportunities that are considered capable of overcoming future sustainable development challenges. Digitalization is projected to be a key supporter of sustainable development with the potential to promote a climate-friendly environment. Future projections of this digitalization approach will likely influence climate change publications. The findings of this study assess the potential for global policy adaptation in climate change mitigation efforts by linking multilevel governance and digitalization simultaneously.
