Paper Title
A Framework for Measuring Environmental Sustainability of Urban Road Landscape in Indian Context

Abstract
Significant and regular natural disasters have been brought on by widespread urbanization and climate change, and it is urgent to adapt to the growing effects of climate breakdown. The term "green infrastructure" (GI) refers to the preservation, management, and improvement of natural and managed environmental resources in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas through the identification and creation of multifunctional, interconnected green spaces. This offers a chance to reevaluate how we manage and use these areas. We argue that the management of India's urban ecosystems and their constituent parts, primarily at the landscape level, will determine whether or not the country can achieve its goals for sustainable development. It is necessary to address issues such as pollution from urban roads, carbon sequestration, biodiversity loss, ground water deterioration, pollution from water bodies, etc. at the landscape level. Strong political support has emerged in the modern era for environmental conservation, but financial limitations, national priority settings, social unrest, and the elusive definition and operationalization of the sustainable development concept typically impede sustainable development. Given the current situation and the fact that climate change is on the verge of tipping, developing a useful tool on environmental sustainability of road landscapes in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals established by the Indian government is not only a matter of choice but also a must. The primary goal of the study is to provide a comprehensive framework for the development of a road landscape rating system that integrates all already existing tools, future tools that are needed, and the main advantages that the rating system can offer.
