Currently, the world faces a critical time with regard to
environmentally friendly technologies or green trends
whose main objective is to adjust the modern social
development to the requirements of environmental
protection, conservation of natural resources and
adaptation to sustainable development models. In this
context, green roofs meet these needs and provide
valuable opportunities in environmental, economic
and social terms. This article aims to present current
trends in research on green roofs globally so as to
encourage further research at local and regional levels
and facilitate its implementation in the medium and
long term by recognizing its benefits, lessons learnt
and challenges. The paper first presents an overview
of green roofs. The following sections focus on major
research topics developed in the last 10 years with
regard to green roofs. In these, some relevant aspects
are discussed with regard to its implementation
worldwide, demonstrating its potential importance
and benefits. Next, each of the sections focuses on
present challenges and future research needs.
