Abstract
This research determines how industrial technology shapes Sierra Leone and related climate change patterns of the present and future. The research evaluates industrial resistance to climate adaptation obstacles and their potential technology usage to increase resilience. The industrial sector faces significant vulnerabilities during surveys and interviews, with power outages (32%), flooding (25%), supply chain problems (22%), and hot external temperatures (21%) demonstrating its significant vulnerabilities. The dependency on diesel-based fossil fuels at 62%, alongside limited adoption of renewable energy at only 18% solar power, demonstrates a matter of concern. According to research findings, 40% experienced flood-related issues, and 35% encountered drainage system problems. A shortage of climate-proof infrastructure exists throughout the entire nation. The use of open dumping methods at 46% and the practice of landfilling wastes at 32% hinders sustainable industry growth. Sierra Leone's industrial resilience against climatic challenges can be developed through renewable energy adoption, climate-proof infrastructure investments, and waste-to-energy program exploration, while environmental policies that combine financial benefits for sustainable practices and climatic education initiatives remain vital for development. The research demonstrates the need to develop modern technology to address specific industrial tensions affecting Sierra Leone. When combined with advanced technology and mechanisms for climate adaptation, the industry becomes more assertive and more environmentally friendly, leading to a sustainable economic growth pattern. The upcoming years will require us to analyze the role of industrial technology and financial instruments in accelerating climate change adaptation throughout the nation.
