Abstract
Egypt's 2030 Sustainable Development Strategy seeks to add 140 million people to the nation's population by 2050. This expands the built environment, which raises the demand for energy and natural resources. Due to the current extreme weather conditions and advancements in construction technology, which have contributed to the squandering of natural resources. The need for comfort inside structures has grown pressing among residents. nonetheless, without raising prices or diminishing resources.Recent years have seen a rise in the use of the term "green building" (GB) due to the fact that it provides workable solutions to pressing global concerns like the depletion of energy and water resources and problems with the buildup of waste. The variables affecting the spread of GB on the Egyptian coast are looked at in this research, along with an overview of GB assessment methods.Since Egypt leads the region in construction technology, the findings of this study are practically applicable to every nation in North Africa. Many studies have attempted to categorise the challenges that globally sustainable development programmes confront. This study will discuss Egypt's challenges as well as the rise of green structures there. Additionally, it will draw attention to problems with GB practises all throughout Egypt, but particularly in coastal regions. This covers obstacles and forces that aid in the planning of global factors for green projects.
