So the article has been devoted to this type of construction as an important area of sustainable development. The interaction of climate change and construction activities has been substantiated in the article. Tasks and principles of sustainable construction have been analyzed. The economic, ecological and social benefits of green construction have been studied. The difference between traditional and green construction has been described. The current state of development of sustainable construction in Ukraine and the world has been considered. Prospects for green construction in Ukraine have been identified.

Summary

Introduction

Global climate change is one of the biggest problems of the modern world which is a threat to the environment, the economy and human health. As global warming affects all spheres of human life and activity, immediate response measures must be introduced to mitigate the effects of climate change and improve the ability to adapt to climate-related hazards and natural disasters. One of the main sectors of the economy, which significantly affects the climate, is construction. It requires the use of a large number of different natural resources, whose production often has a negative impact on the environment and the course of climate change. At the same time construction and construction industries as a whole are directly dependent on a number of climatic factors (fig. 1)
