This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of carbon emission disclosure research in ASEAN countries. The analysis consists of 130 articles from Scopus-indexed journals from 2012 to 2025. The result of this study shows the analysis of carbon emissions disclosure research in ASEAN, that involves (1) trend in research publications, (2) distribution of publication and citations 3) distribution of publications based on affiliation, (4) distribution of publications by authors and citations, and (5) journal analysis, (6) top 10 most frequently used keywords, (7) the influential research on carbon emissions disclosure in ASEAN countries, (8) keyword co-occurrence networks. The analysis reflects that research on carbon emission disclosure in ASEAN is dominated by publication from Indonesia and Malaysia. In terms of the type of disclosure, ASEAN countries exhibit varying disclosure regulations. Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Viet Nam adopt voluntary disclosure regulations, with different timelines for future mandatory implementation. In addition, Singapore implements mandatory disclosure regulations. Furthermore, this study provides insights into potential future research that can be further explored in the context of carbon emission disclosure in ASEAN, by identifying four variables, namely adaptive management, apathy behavior, educational policy, and campus sustainability.
