Various measures to be taken to mitigate the impact of climate change in different civil engineering implements are presented from a broad perspective. The service life of existing structures is shortened by increasing temperature differences due to climate change, changing precipitation regimes, and rising sea levels. In addition, climate change will complicate the planning, design, calculation, and implementation stages of new structures for engineers in the long term. The aim of this study is to present measures to adapt infrastructure and superstructures to the effects of climate change. In the study, mitigation measures against factors such as changing climate parameters, floods, overflows, rising sea levels, and CO2 reduction measures in construction activities are explained for existing or new buildings. In addition, the role of civil engineers in reducing the effects of climate change is also discussed in the study. Additionally, this study explains how civil engineers can guide decision makers in strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change. As a result, when different literature studies are examined, measures such as the use of waste materials in the production of construction materials, constructing drainage systems, using longterm precipitation forecasts, elevating infrastructure and structures, reanalyzing the dimensions of the bearing elements of the structures, building barrier systems, reorganizing existing water and marine structures, updating design standards, and preparing risk maps in river and coastal areas have been identified. In addition, it is understood that civil engineers have an important role in determining adaptation strategies against climate change in coastal areas and cities.}, number={3}, publisher={Pamukkale Üniversitesi}
