Global concern on climate change has encouraged policymakers and central banks to adopt green financial instruments such as green bonds within sustainable monetary frameworks. Research on the integration of green bonds and monetary policy has grown rapidly in recent years, reflecting wider trends in sustainable finance, climate risk management, and central bank policy innovation. Green bonds play an important role in supporting low-carbon transitions and can influence monetary operations through asset purchases and collateral policies. This study applies a bibliometric analysis of publications on green bonds and monetary policy indexed in Scopus from 2021 to 2025. Using bibliometric methods with VOSviewer and R Studio, the analysis maps dominant themes, co-authorship networks, and the evolution of green monetary studies. The results show strong growth in research output, high levels of international collaboration, and a concentration on sustainable development and green finance. However, fewer studies address climate policy uncertainty and geopolitical risk, even though these factors are highly relevant to financial stability and the effectiveness of monetary policy. Future research in these underexplored areas could provide stronger scientific foundations for building more adaptive and resilient monetary systems in both developed and emerging economies.
