Abstract
Because of climate change and increasing population in Australia–New Zealand, several key environmental geotechnics issues are emerging. These key issues include the impact of climate change, depletion of natural resources, interest in the use of recycled materials, advances in seeking new energy sources, disaster waste management as well as other sustainability issues. Evaluation of climate change effects, adaptation technologies and interdisciplinary solutions for geo-infrastructure and other key issues and challenges will be discussed in this paper.Keywords
