本レビューは、自然を基盤とした解決策（NbS）と持続可能材料を統合したネットゼロ建設の研究動向を文献計量分析により抽出。5つの主要テーマ（脱炭素化と循環経済、持続可能建材と炭素管理、エネルギー効率と設計判断、ゼロカーボン戦略、建設サプライチェーンにおける体化炭素）を特定し、NbSが排出削減やサプライチェーン最適化に有効だが、ライフサイクル分析との統合や地域格差に課題があることを指摘。
English
This bibliometric review of 30 studies on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and sustainable materials for net-zero construction identifies five research themes: decarbonization and circular economy, sustainable building materials and carbon management, energy efficiency and design decision-making, zero-carbon strategies, and embodied carbon in supply chains. It finds NbS effective for emission reduction and supply chain optimization, but highlights gaps in life-cycle integration and regional adoption disparities.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の建設業界では2050年カーボンニュートラル目標に向け、ZEB/ZEHや木造建築などが注目される。本レビューのNbSやサプライチェーン分析は、日本におけるグリーン建材導入やLCA活用の参考となるが、南アフリカ特有の文脈に依存する部分に注意が必要。
In the global GX context
As global construction faces pressure to decarbonize, this review synthesizes Nature-based Solutions and sustainable materials approaches applicable to net-zero buildings. It offers a systematic map for practitioners and policymakers integrating NbS, though its focus on South Africa limits direct transferability to other regions. The identified themes align with global trends in circular economy and embodied carbon reduction.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Buildings contribute approximately 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, necessitating urgent action toward net-zero construction through Nature-based Solutions (NbS). While NbS have been studied individually, a systematic synthesis of how they integrate with sustainable materials for decarbonisation remains limited. This bibliometric review synthesises emerging trends in NbS and sustainable materials for net-zero construction, addressing a critical knowledge gap in the field. Using structured database analysis, 30 peer-reviewed studies were systematically retrieved and analysed through cluster analysis to identify thematic patterns and research trajectories. Five key research themes emerged: (1) Innovative Strategies for Decarbonisation and Circular Economy, (2) Sustainable Building Materials and Carbon Management, (3) Energy Efficiency and Decision-Making in Sustainable Architectural Design, (4) Zero-Carbon Strategies in Construction and Housing, and (5) Embodied Carbon and Sustainability in Construction Supply Chains. The analysis reveals that NbS significantly reduce carbon emissions, optimises supply chains, and enhances energy efficiency in building systems. However, critical gaps persist in integrating life-cycle analysis with nature-based materials and in addressing regional adoption disparities. This bibliometric approach provides a quantitative foundation for identifying research priorities and policy implications in sustainable construction, offering insights to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working toward environmentally conscious building practices. Keywords: Energy-Efficient Buildings, Nature-based Solutions (NbS), Net-Zero Construction, Sustainable Construction, Zero-carbon materials.
