Abstract
While developed countries continue to progress in environmental impact mitigation, global south countries have immature environmental mitigation and performance strategies. The need for formidable knowledge of various environmental themes and categories is thus essential to educate construction contractors on the awareness of their environmental challenges. Knowledge of sustainable standards provides the pathway to achieving the U.N.'s sustainable development goals (SDGs) in providing construction sustainability. This study assessed the awareness level of the Ghanaian construction contractor using climate change as the environmental theme. A survey was carried out on the theme using a 5-point Likert scale. The survey was conducted using purposive and snowball sampling methods. The contractor's environmental consciousness level was estimated using linear regression analysis to determine their grasp of climate change. According to the findings, the Ghanaian construction contractor is adequately informed of climate change.
