Green practices in the construction industry are coined based on the concept of protecting the environment and providing a more environmentally friendly solution for the construction activities. Various green practices had been introduced namely in the use of green materials, green management and also technology. However, after decades of efforts, the industry is still daunted by the issues such as lack of awareness and knowledge that hinder the full adoption of green practices in the industry. Thus, this paper aims to explore the knowledge sharing behaviour among construction stakeholders to accelerate green practices adoption in the construction industry. There are four knowledge sharing behaviours identified from this paper that possibly can influence the green practices acceptance and adoption in the industry. This paper is based on conceptual findings conducted through literature review.
