Over the past few decades, the global discourse on environmental sustainability and climate change has catalyzed a profound transformation in economic paradigms, giving rise to the concept of the green economy. This paradigm emphasizes the integration of economic activities with environmental preservation and social equity to achieve sustainable development goals. As scholarly interest and research output in the green economy burgeon, navigating through the vast body of literature becomes increasingly challenging. In response, this study conducts a bibliometric analysis of economic literature related to the green economy, aiming to map out research trends, identify influential authors, seminal works, and thematic clusters. Employing bibliometric techniques such as co-citation analysis, keyword analysis, and citation mapping, this research provides insights into the intellectual landscape of the green economy field. The analysis reveals key research gaps, such as uneven geographical distribution and the need for interdisciplinary studies, while also highlighting emerging areas of inquiry. By delineating future research trajectories, this study aims to inform policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers striving towards sustainable economic development goals.

“…The vast and mesmerizing realm of the oceans, which encompasses more than 70% of the Earth's surface, has perpetually served as a subject of interest, a reservoir of resources, and a provider of sustenance for the human population (Sikhunyana and Mishi, 2023). However, in the current global context, where issues of sustainability, climate resilience, and economic progress intersect, the concept of the blue economy emerges as a promising prospect (Phelan et al, 2020).…”

The expanding blue economy, marked by its focus on sustainable use of ocean resources, offers enormous opportunity for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). However, for SMEs to properly integrate and succeed in this economy, they must first have a thorough awareness of the sector’s challenges and prospects. This research used a scoping review and a qualitative study to identify the challenges and opportunities facing SMEs operating in the blue economy. The study discovered recurring themes and gaps in the existing literature by conducting an extensive examination of scholarly publications. The key challenges identified include complicated regulatory frameworks, restricted access to funding, infrastructure restrictions, talent deficiencies, government support, and market outreach. In-depth interviews with Malaysian SME leaders, industry stakeholders, and policymakers were conducted to decipher these findings. The results of interviews confirmed the relevance of the regulatory framework, infrastructure restrictions, talent deficit, and market access challenges in the Malaysian context. In particular, the study revealed emerging opportunities for Malaysian blue SMEs in sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable fisheries, marine biotechnology, and ecotourism. The study emphasizes the importance of an encouraging policy framework, knowledge-sharing platforms, and capacity building activities. It finishes by underlining the ability of SMEs to drive a sustainable and thriving blue economy, if challenges are systematically handled, and opportunities are appropriately capitalized.
