This chapter provides an extensive review of the literature on mitigation, adaptation, and resilience strategies in construction projects, examining how these concepts are applied to address the challenges posed by climate change, natural disasters, and environmental hazards. The chapter explores the existing research on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing environmental impacts, and adopting sustainable construction practices. It also reviews adaptation measures to adjust construction techniques in the face of rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise, along with methods for enhancing the resilience of infrastructure and buildings. Drawing from a range of case studies and practical examples, the chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of current trends, gaps, and future directions in the field. Through this literature review, the chapter aims to guide practitioners and policymakers in integrating these strategies into both organized and unorganized sectors, thereby improving the sustainability and long-term viability of construction projects.

摘要

This chapter provides an extensive review of the literature on mitigation, adaptation, and resilience strategies in construction projects, examining how these concepts are applied to address the challenges posed by climate change, natural disasters, and environmental hazards. The chapter explores the existing research on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing environmental impacts, and adopting sustainable construction practices. It also reviews adaptation measures to adjust construction techniques in the face of rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise, along with methods for enhancing the resilience of infrastructure and buildings. Drawing from a range of case studies and practical examples, the chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of current trends, gaps, and future directions in the field. Through this literature review, the chapter aims to guide practitioners and policymakers in integrating these strategies into both organized and unorganized sectors, thereby improving the sustainability and long-term viability of construction projects.
