Abstract
Climate change presents significant challenges to infrastructure, with extreme weather events and rising sea levels threatening the stability and functionality of buildings, roads, and other critical systems. Chemical engineering plays a key role in developing climate-resilient infrastructure by designing materials and processes that can withstand environmental stresses and reduce the carbon footprint of construction. This article explores the contributions of chemical engineers in creating climate-resilient infrastructure, including the development of sustainable building materials, energy-efficient construction techniques, and strategies for reducing environmental impact. The paper also discusses the future trends in chemical engineering that will contribute to the adaptation of infrastructure to a changing climate.
