Abstract
Climate change represents one of the foremost environmental challenges of the 21st century, exerting profound effects on both natural ecosystems and human societies. This study explores green-blue infrastructure (GBI) as a viable, sustainable approach to address these challenges. GBI encompasses a range of natural and semi-natural components, including parks, wetlands, green roofs, and green walls, which are essential for delivering ecosystem services, managing surface water, mitigating air temperature, enhancing air quality, and safeguarding biodiversity. Utilizing a systematic review methodology, this research compiles and evaluates existing data regarding the influence of GBI on climate change. It seeks to answer critical questions about the effects of these infrastructures on climate dynamics, their role in bolstering environmental resilience, and the obstacles associated with their implementation. The findings suggest that GBI can significantly improve urban living conditions, strengthen resilience to climate change, and diminish environmental hazards. By offering a thorough and cohesive analysis, this research enhances the understanding of how GBI can play a pivotal role.
