In this study, wehave examined the current state of research on greenhouse gas emission from MSW andtheir impact on climate change and further analysed the published literature based on differentbibliometric and network analysis indices. The result of this study indicates a steadyincrease in the number of scientific literature on this topic over the last 28 years. Amongdifferent countries, China has contributed the highest number of documents and receivedthe highest number of citations. The Technical University of Denmark was the most productiveamong different institutions worldwide. Keyword clustering and network analysishave identified several emerging topics, such as modelling approach to reduce GHG emissionsfrom MSW dump yards and powerplants. The network analysis also identified thatglobal collaborative research is indispensable in the foreseeable future. 收起
