The trend of developing a green economy is becoming a global trend and is supported and promoted by many countries and international organizations. The green economy focuses on sustainable development and minimizing negative impacts on the environment and natural resources. Around the world, many countries have launched plans and policies to promote the green economy, including the transition to renewable energy, waste treatment and reuse, enhancing energy efficiency and resources, encouraging the use of green products and services. The construction industry plays an important role in the economy but also contributes significantly to environmental pollution, resource use and carbon emissions globally. Developing the construction industry in a green economy is one of the important approaches to achieving sustainability in the construction sector. In Vietnam, the Government has launched many policies and plans to encourage the development of a green economy. Activities include promoting the use of renewable energy, promoting the use of electric vehicles and green products and services, improving air and water quality, and disposing of waste in a sustainable manner. The construction industry in particular has also begun to transition to a green building model, in which many construction works have been designed and built using international standards and certifications on green construction. However, the development of a green economy, including the construction industry, still faces many challenges, including high costs and lack of resources, as well as necessary changes in the way companies and organizations operate.
