This comprehensive scientometric analysis, utilizing Cite Space and data from the Web of Science Core Collection, examines the trajectory of research on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the context of climate change. Analysing 2782 articles and 117,904 cited references, the study observes a significant surge in publications between 2019 and 2023, with Australia, England and Canada as leading contributors. Our findings reveal key conceptual pillars such as ‘marine protected areas’, ‘climate change’, ‘conservation’, ‘management’, and ‘biodiversity’. The research domain is characterized by 10 major co-citation clusters, with a notable focus on “coral reefs”, “temperature-driven coral decline”, and “large MPAs”. The increasing citation frequency during 2020–2023, particularly in clusters related to coral reefs and regional studies, signals a heightened global awareness of MPAs' role in mitigating climate change impacts. This review provides essential insights, informing future directions for both academic research and policymaking in marine conservation amid ongoing climatic changes.
