Geopolitical Risks and ESG Dynamics: Trends, Themes, and Future Research Trajectory
系统梳理了地缘政治风险与ESG动态交叉领域的71篇文献，归纳出ESG绩效、绿色金融、可再生能源、气候变化和金融稳定五大主题，为投资者、政策制定者等提供研究空白与未来方向。
ABSTRACT This study presents a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) to consolidate, synthesize, and critically appraise the prevailing trends; uncover emerging themes; and identify the future research avenues at the intersection of geopolitical risk (GPR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dynamics. Following a structured approach based on PRISMA guideline, a total of 71 peer‐reviewed articles published up to 2025 were systematically retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The review has been organized into two main segments: a descriptive bibliometric analysis and thematic synthesis of the existing literature. The five major interdependent themes for geopolitical and ESG dynamics are ESG performance, green finance, renewable energy, climate change, and financial stability. The analysis reveals a growing academic interest in the multifaceted impacts of GPR on ESG dynamics and GPR, as a significant impact on ESG dynamics. Finally, this study offers key research gaps in the existing literature and proposes directions for future research agendas, while underscoring the theoretical, practical, and policy implications for investors, policymakers, corporate managers, and academicians.
