<p>Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are the unique material with a high ductility in nature for different applications. However, the high cement dosage in ECC contributes to an elevated carbon footprint, higher costs, and an increased risk of restrained shrinkage cracking, indicating a need for improvements. In recent years, researchers have consistently worked towards developing a more environmentally friendly ECC. These initiatives largely involve the use of more economical and eco-friendly binders, fibers, and other raw materials. This study reviews sustainable ECC incorporating various percentages of limestone calcined clay cement (LC³). It discusses the mechanical properties, durability, shrinkage, self-healing ability, hydration, and microstructural performance of LC³-ECC with different LC³ percentages, fibers, water-to-binder ratios, and mix proportions. Based on previous studies, it is evident that LC³-ECC exhibits a higher tensile strain capacity, durability properties, and lower compressive strength than conventional ECC (C-ECC). Notably, ECC with 25% to 80% LC³ exhibited a maximum tensile strain of 4% to 9%, making it appropriate for various structural resilience applications. Additionally, it reduces production costs, CO₂ emissions, and energy consumption compared to C-ECC. Moreover, the early-age hydration is considerably enhanced owing to the higher pozzolanic reaction of LC³. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of influence of LC³ in ECC for various applications, thereby advancing the research in this area.</p>
