It could be (some sources consider it to be an adjunct noun).

Survival is either an adjective (meaning helping one survive) or an adjunct when paired with other nouns as in survival knife, survival course, and survival kit.

It could be depending on the context it is used in.

Ex. My grandmother is her mother's only survivingdaughter.

Surviving is an adjective here because it is describing my grandmother.

However, typically, it's a verb.

Ex. Surviving during the Great Depression was difficult for most because supplies were not abundant.

Surviving is a verb here because it is something that can be done.

No, it is not. Survive is a verb (to remain alive, to cope with adversity). The word survival can be both a noun and an adjective.
