Necessity of green construction for building sustainable environment

The construction industry is a major contributor to global environmental challenges, including carbon emissions, resource depletion, and waste generation. Green construction has emerged as a sustainable alternative, integrating renewable materials, energy-efficient designs, and innovative technologies to minimize environmental impact while promoting economic and social benefits. This study explores the necessity of green construction in fostering a sustainable environment, analyzing its key features, benefits, challenges, and global trends. It highlights barriers such as high costs, lack of awareness, and policy gaps while emphasizing the role of emerging technologies and localized strategies to drive adoption, particularly in developing countries. The findings underscore the critical role of green construction in addressing urbanization challenges, mitigating climate change impacts, and promoting resource efficiency. Recommendations include strengthening policy frameworks, enhancing public awareness, fostering public-private partnerships, and leveraging innovations to accelerate the transition to sustainable construction practices. This research provides a roadmap for stakeholders to integrate green construction as a cornerstone of environmental sustainability.
