Abstract

Climate change is a reality that can be felt. There are more and more symptoms: droughts, floods, global temperature change… This is causing public opinion to react and worry. The scientific community is no stranger to this feeling and is looking to science and technology, specifically artificial intelligence, for the means and mechanisms to help reduce this impact. This study demonstrates that the scientific community’s interest in artificial intelligence and climate change is a constant and growing reality. To achieve this objective, a bibliometric study is used with the following methodology: first, scientific papers related to artificial intelligence and climate change are obtained from the Scopus database, then they are processed through VOSviewer and analyzed by the dimensions of time, topics, and countries, and finally a network map is visualized where it can be seen how climate change is surrounded by areas related to artificial intelligence.
