A Scopus survey concerning the scientific production on the field of civil engineering and the subfield of pavements is carried out. The survey proves not only that the aforementioned subfield is not receiving enough research efforts but also that the environmental issues need much more attention from the scientific community. Brief comments on the crucial importance of climate change effects for pavement materials are included. A book outline is also included.
