Synthesizing the extensive and ever‐growing climate change literature is becoming increasingly challenging using conventional review processes, yet is crucial to understand key trends, including knowledge and policy related gaps, managing widespread impacts, and prioritizing future efforts. Here, we employ a systematic approach to interrogate ~130,000 international peer‐reviewed climate change articles published between 1990 and 2021. We examine the time–space evolution of research topics and international collaborations, providing insights into broad scale climate change research themes, how they are developed and/or are interconnected. Our analyses indicate that significant thematic adjustments have occurred over the past three decades. Whilst all major areas of climate research have grown in output metrics, there has been a relative shift from understanding the physical science basis toward evaluating climate change impacts, adaptation, and mitigation. There has also been a significant internationalization of climate research with the ratio of international over domestic research increasing from 0.05 in 1990 to nearly 0.60 in 2021. These findings reveal a growing need for collective and coupled adaptation‐mitigation actions to address climate change. The repeatable method and overall results presented herein can help to complement existing large‐scale literature assessments, such as future IPCC reports.This article is categorized under: Climate, History, Society, Culture > Disciplinary Perspectives Integrated Assessment of Climate Change > Methods of Integrated Assessment of Climate Change

气候变化科学正在朝着适应和缓解解决方案发展

使用传统审查流程综合广泛且不断增长的气候变化文献变得越来越具有挑战性，但对于了解关键趋势至关重要，包括知识和政策相关差距、管理广泛影响以及确定未来努力的优先顺序。在这里，我们采用系统方法询问 1990 年至 2021 年间发表的约 130,000 篇国际同行评审的气候变化文章。我们研究研究主题和国际合作的时空演变，提供对大规模气候变化研究主题及其如何影响的见解。被开发和/或相互关联。我们的分析表明，过去三十年发生了重大的主题调整。虽然气候研究的所有主要领域的产出指标都在增长，但从理解物理科学基础转向评估气候变化影响、适应和缓解已经发生了相对的转变。气候研究也出现了显着的国际化，国际研究与国内研究的比率从 1990 年的 0.05 增加到 2021 年的近 0.60。这些发现表明，越来越需要采取集体和耦合的适应减缓行动来应对气候变化。本文提出的可重复方法和总体结果有助于补充现有的大规模文献评估，例如未来的 IPCC 报告。本文分类如下： 气候、历史、社会、文化 > 学科观点 气候变化综合评估 > 气候变化综合评估方法
