Climate change is amplifying geomorphological hazards, particularly landslides, while simultaneously altering the ecosystem services that regulate slope stability in mountain regions. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric assessment of research linking climate change, landslide hazards, and ecosystem services from 2000 to 2025. A total of 913 Scopus-indexed publications were analyzed to evaluate temporal growth, collaboration networks, and thematic structures within the field. Results show a pronounced increase in publications after 2015, reflecting greater integration among geoscience, ecological, and climate-policy domains. Research output is dominated by Europe and East Asia-especially the Chinese Academy of Sciences-whereas Central Asia, Africa, and South America remain critically underrepresented. Three major thematic clusters were identified: geotechnical and hydrological drivers of slope instability, climate-driven risk assessment and nature-based solutions (NbS), and cryosphere–geomorphology interactions under warming. Collectively, these trends indicate a shift from descriptive hazard mapping toward predictive, ecosystem-based approaches. Persistent gaps remain in empirical validation, crossregional evidence, and socio-ecological integration of NbS. Advancing this research frontier will require multi-scale data integration, transparent modeling frameworks, and participatory strategies that link ecological processes with climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction in mountain environments.
