Abstract
In the contemporary climate change era, it is paramount to comprehend the impact of individual attitudes and behaviors on their environmental footprint and adaptive capacity. This study examines the correlation between proactive decision-making and ecological awareness among Canadian engineering practitioners amidst climate change's persistent and escalating challenges. Through a thorough literature review and survey of 100 respondents, this study established the existence of a positive, statistically meaningful correlation between proactive decision-making and environmental awareness. The findings underscore the importance of enhancing environmental consciousness to foster proactive behavior and adaptive co** mechanisms. The concluding remarks of this study carry significant implications for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers invested in advancing climate change adaptation and mitigation endeavors. Further investigation is crucial to probe the underlying determinants of these attitudes and their consequences for effectively implementing sustainability initiatives in engineering institutions
