Abstract

Climate change is a global phenomenon impacting all countries. In order to mitigate against the impacts of climate change, it is necessary to take measures to minimise the impacts that will affect the human habitat especially the built environment in the future. In the light of the inequality of development over the world, including varying rates of economic growth, it will be difficult for developing countries to combat the effects of climate change due to the limited capital investment, varying levels of leadership and political commitment and technology levels. All the countries have to share responsibility for the historical and current global emissions of greenhouse gases originating from both developed and undeveloped countries. This studies the built environment and adapts the impacts to be increased in the climate change and this analysis the constraints the opportunities for managing impacts for human sustainability.
