التعاقدات الخضراء بين التشريع والتطبيق: نحو نموذج مستدام لإدارة المشاريع

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between the legislative framework of green contracting and its practical implementation in project management, with a particular focus on its role in advancing sustainable development objectives. The research addresses a critical gap between formal environmental regulations and their actual application in project practices, especially within developing country contexts.

A qualitative multi-method approach was adopted, combining critical legal analysis, comparative analysis, and policy analysis, alongside a constructive approach to develop a practical and integrative model. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of green contracting extends beyond the existence of advanced legislation; it is strongly influenced by institutional and human capacities, the level of stakeholder integration, and the clarity of environmental criteria embedded in contractual frameworks.

The study also reveals significant weaknesses in implementation and monitoring mechanisms, which limit the environmental performance of projects. In response, a comprehensive model for sustainable project management based on green contracting is proposed. The model integrates legislative structures, capacity development, contractual mechanisms, and sustainability outcomes into a coherent framework.

The study recommends aligning national legislation with international standards, strengthening institutional training programs, and enhancing environmental monitoring and evaluation systems within project cycles. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge and offers a practical framework for policymakers and practitioners seeking to operationalize green contracting and promote sustainable project management, particularly in developing countries.
