Sustainable housing is a way to adapt to climate change because it merges housing needs with environmental practices focused on resource efficiency and adequate housing design, equitably addressing the pillars of sustainability. This paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of contributions to sustainable housing, using scientific databases (Scopus and Web of Science) to discern this issue. The methodology consists of (i) search and collection of information and (ii) analysis using bibliometric tools. The results show the scientific evolution of the field of study, considering criteria such as using local ecological materials, energy efficiency, renewable energies, water management and policies to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Countries such as the United Kingdom (16.36%), the United States (11.25%) and Australia (6.72%) are pioneers in this area. This study provides a global perspective on housing solutions, contributing to developing resilient and sustainable communities.
