RESEARCH PROFILE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND TSUNAMI MITIGATION: EFFORTS TO REALIZE SDGS 11 AND 13
Abstract
Both tsunamis and climate change have a significant impact in many aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research through scientific publications on the most effective mitigation efforts to reduce these impacts. This study's objectives are to analyze the research profile of climate change and tsunami mitigation using bibliometric analysis. A total of 1750 climate change mitigation documents and 139 tsunami mitigation documents were analyzed. The study results show that the publication of climate change mitigation has increased rapidly in the last decade exponentially, while the publication of tsunami mitigation tends to stagnate. Furthermore, research trends in climate change mitigation, namely emission control, environmental policy, and carbon sequestration, are the most researched mitigation efforts. Meanwhile, the leading causes of climate change are greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the trend of tsunami mitigation research is more towards disaster management and mitigation, the causes of tsunamis by earthquakes, and coastal area mitigation objects. The research profile on climate change mitigation follows the 13th goal of the SDGs, namely climate action, while tsunami mitigation follows the 11th goal of the SDGs.
