The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of post-war economic recovery in Ukraine in the context of modern concepts of sustainable development. It is argued for the necessity of combining ecological feasibility, social inclusion, institutional capacity, and economic resilience as key dimensions of green post-war transformation. The international experience of post-war reconstruction is summarized with an emphasis on the principles of Build Back Better and institutional recovery. Attention is focused on the integration of approaches such as circular economy, just transition, post-growth economy, environmentally sustainable development, and human capital development. The conception of green resilience is proposed as an integral characteristic of effective reconstruction that combines resilience to climate, social, and military shocks. Based on the conducted analysis, eight principles and a series of drivers for post-war recovery have been identified, including: financial-investment, technological, institutional, regulatory, social, humanitarian, educational, infrastructural, and behavioral factors. The article is interdisciplinary in nature and examines post-war recovery not only as a technical or financial process but as a strategic opportunity for shaping a new economic model based on the values of justice, ecological balance, and integration into the EU. Practical guidelines for sustainable recovery policy are outlined in the context of Ukrainian realities and global commitments. Special attention is paid to the role of institutional design, the participation of civil society, and the implementation of innovative ecological technologies as the basis for long-term transformation. The comprehensive synergy of the mentioned approaches allows for viewing post-war reconstruction as a fundamental entry point into a new paradigm of development – one that is more inclusive, decentralized, and resilient to future challenges.
