European Green Infrastructure Day 2021

Policymakers, experts and representatives of national associations and green infrastructure industry discussed the state of affairs of urban green infrastructure in the European Union in a unique policy conference. Urban green infrastructure, such as vegetated roofs and walls, can greatly support green economic recovery and Europe’s transition to a more sustainable and resilient society. This clearly emerged from the insightful discussions of the first European Green Infrastructure Day, hosted by the EU Chapter of the World Green Infrastructure Network throughout 27 May 2021.  The panels focused on urban biodiversity, green and efficient buildings, financing green infrastructure, exchanging best green roofs practices across Europe, green infrastructure and climate adaptation, and how to build more sustainable, healthier and human-centred cities.  Among the speakers were:  View the full programme here.You can watch the event recordings below and on our YouTube channel.  recordings:

11 MAY: GRHC’s Urban Food Production Virtual Symposium!

A year into the COVID-19 pandemic, we have all been affected tremendously. With this, people are beginning to look for innovative solutions that will allow them to bounce back. Urban agriculture has grown rapidly in popularity and is quickly being understood as a resilient solution to COVID19. Urban agriculture helps support strong local economies and brings communities back together again, two things that are vital in COVID19 recovery. Not only will urban agriculture be an effective solution with COVID19, but it also provides many other benefits.           When you think of urban agriculture you probably think about urban space for food production, especially for fruits and vegetables. But, there are other viable types of production that you can get involved in, including microgreens, mushrooms, and edible insects! As well, urban agriculture has more capabilities than food production! It supports local economies, creates jobs, improves food access, and provides ecosystem services. On May 11th, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities is hosting the Urban Food Production Virtual Symposium. The agenda will provide managers, researchers, and urban planners with an understanding of this burgeoning industry and tools to adopt these practices. GRHC brings together early adopters and pioneers so we can understand their successes and losses. Approved for 3.75 APLD CEUs, 3.75 ASLA CEUs, 4 GRP CEUs and 3 AIA CEUs. Admission: $50 USD To learn more and register for the event: https://greenroofs.org/virtualevents/2021/5/11/urban-food-production-virtual-symposium
