With growing concern about climate change and the increasing importance of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the interaction between these two topics has been a focus of increased research. The purpose of this research paper, "Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in IoT Devices: Qualitative Analysis of Problems, Innovations, and Best Practises of IoT Devices," is to conduct a comprehensive qualitative analysis of the relation between IoT technology and climate resilience. This paper details the findings, providing contribution to the departments by offering solutions and recommendations that organisations can consider for improving the resilience of IoT devices in a severe weather condition. The paper includes an in-depth analysis of the present condition of IoT device usage, showing the broad and diverse areas of their application in many sectors, such as smart infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare and more. This analysis highlights that many companies in both, the public and private sectors, are using sensors, actuators, cameras, routers and other devices. It then conducts a qualitative analysis of the particular problems that these devices deal with when subjected to challenging climatic conditions, with a focus on the impact of the environment on their performance. The paper illustrates IoT devices that have shown great climate resilience through real-world examples and in-depth qualitative evaluations of effective situations, delivering useful quality lessons for both developers and consumers. Furthermore, the study conducts a qualitative analysis of the elements that manufacturers and developers should consider while developing climate resistant IoT devices.

The evaluation of the importance of quality aspects, such as standards and certifications, in assuring the reliability of IoT devices in various climatic situations is a key aspect of this qualitative study. The paper conducts deep research of these parameters and their influence on device performance, it also emphasises the significance of subjective components of maintenance and protection practises, providing organisations with practical qualitative to overcome severe weather conditions and secure their IoT devices. By looking more closely at these factors, the study aims to find the deeper fundamental factors that affect how resilient and durable devices are. Bringing up the importance of qualitative aspects of maintenance and protection practises shows how important it is to think about not only technological aspects but also subjective features that make IoT devices more durable and make sure they work well even in extreme weather conditions. Over this research, comprehensive interviews with IT professionals from a variety of companies were used to gather data for this study. Open-ended questions were used to get rich and detailed insights. Along with the descriptive information, reports from the sector, case studies, and best practises were also analysed analytically. This created a complete narrative framework for learning about the problems and chances that come with those devices that are resilient to climate change. Besides that, includes qualitative analysis of predicted quality improvements and IoT device applications, taking into consideration changing climatic challenges and technology developments. Remote tracking and predictive maintenance are critical for maintaining the reliability and resilience of IoT devices.
