Flooding is one of the primary causes of losses from natural disasters in numerous regions worldwide, surpassing all other types of natural hazards in terms of damage. In recent decades, flood damage has been significantly severe due to the increase in the frequency and intensity of floods. Considering that levees are built for an established design life, it is essential to consider potential changes in loads due to atmospheric climate change. Climate variability may affect hydraulic loading and soil eroding with significant precipitation or during drought or high wind conditions. These atmospheric changes over time may affect the structural integrity of the levee. The dominating failure modes for typical ground conditions along rivers are slope stability, overtopping, through seepage, and underseepage. Several technologies can be applied to prevent levee failure, strengthen the levee, avoid overtopping or internal erosion, and ground subsidence due to changing groundwater. The most common ones are concrete columns, sheet piles, geosynthetics, and deep mixing using different binders. However, these technologies come out to be costly, in terms of materials. Moreover, the primary material of these interventions is cement. Nowadays, it is accepted that the cement industry is one of the two largest producers of carbon dioxide (CO2). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide comprehensive guidelines for promoting sustainable development in terms of environmental, social, and economic dimensions in all sectors of the economy, including civil engineering. The study outlines the procedure to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions of different technologies for levee reinforcement. Considering a simple scenario, the technical suitability of the investigated technologies is analyzed, and the carbon dioxide emission is analyzed separately.
