Climate change poses one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century, demanding urgent and innovative engineering solutions for both mitigation and adaptation. This study explores the development and implementation of engineering strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable practices across various sectors. Mitigation strategies such as carbon capture and storage, renewable energy technologies, and sustainable urban planning are critically analyzed for their potential to curb global warming. Simultaneously, adaptation strategies, including climate-resilient infrastructure, water management systems, and disaster risk reduction measures, are examined for their ability to safeguard communities against the adverse impacts of climate change. By integrating these approaches, the research emphasizes the pivotal role of engineering in creating resilient and sustainable systems that can withstand the evolving environmental challenges, ultimately contributing to global efforts in combating climate change.
