The assessment of challenges and risks associated with practicing green transformation of the construction industry in Rajasthan, India.

Abstract

Increased resource depletion and growing greenhouse gas emissions are to blame for the majority of present environmental damage. There has been an increase in average temperature and a drop in air quality as a result of this degradation. As a construction company moves through its lifespan, it consumes a tremendous number of natural resources. Construction is heavily reliant on the availability of basic materials. People all across the world are responding to this by creating environmentally friendly technology. India has a long-term vision for a green economy. As part of this study, we analyze how India's historical perspectives and vernacular architectural traditions link to present environmental efforts. The report's literature review highlights India's green transformation's five pillars and four facilitators. Rajasthan, India's biggest state, is well-represented in the study, as is the state's contribution to the overall objective of greening economy of the country. Following the research, a case study of Germany's greening efforts was carried out as a follow-up step. Analysis of possibilities and challenges in five key categories: social, technical, economic, environmental, and political, is provided by the STEEP analysis framework. To summarize a company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, a SWOT analysis is utilized. Conducting extra study on a case set in a comparable context is important in order to make recommendations more relevant. Research on Germany's model for green transformation is conducted to identify strengths and possibilities, as well as risks, that may be used to improve the advice given in a particular context. This research examines how to use strengths and opportunities while overcoming defects and threats to make recommendations more specific, meaningful, and context-relevant. In order to arrive at some conclusions, we combined the information from the two investigations, the case study and the literature review. There are recommendations for the government, investors, businesses, and citizens of Rajasthan at the end of the study.
