The primary objective of this research endeavor is to conduct an in-depth literature review on the paramount significance of Nature-Based Solutions (NbSs) in mitigating carbon footprint and enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructures, with a specific emphasis on road transportation infrastructure. Additionally, the aim is to map available NbS to enhance road infrastructure resilience in the face of climate change impacts and identify key challenges and potential solutions. The findings indicate that, despite limited research dedicated to the transportation sector, NbS exhibits significant promise in advancing environmental sustainability and fostering climate change adaptation. These solutions encompass a spectrum of approaches, such as integrating natural elements into road infrastructure and restoring adjacent ecosystems. Furthermore, knowledge gaps and challenges related to the implementation of NbS in the transportation sector are identified. These findings guide future research and encourage the adoption of policies and strategies that promote the effective integration of NbS into transportation policies and existing/future infrastructure projects.
