Abstract : A growing interest in human adaptation to climatic fluctuation and change is indicated by recent advances in the policy domain as well as in the research community about the implications of climate change. However, little is known about the nature and mechanisms of human climate adaptation, and direct research on the subject is rarely conducted. In effects research, human responses of one kind or another are frequently taken for granted. The analyses that do focus on adaptation employ a range of interpretations and points of view, leading to an insufficient and occasionally erroneous knowledge of how humans adjust to changes in their surroundings. Climate change and environmental degradation are two prominent global issues in our current era. Therefore, in order to guarantee the long-lasting advancement of the nation's economic sectors, including production patterns, it is crucial to enforce efficient policies and laws with the goal of decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study is done to see how mission life plays an effective role in environmental sustainability and help to energy efficiency with mitigation of climate change and reduce green house impact and how it plays a major road towards sustainable development. The motivation to enhance the standard of living and prevent environmental deterioration through the utilisation of energy efficiency.

Keywords : Mission Life, Environmental Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, Adaptation.
