iCARI Conferences: More Climate Resilient Cities 2024

More Climate Resilience Cities will take place on 22-23 October in Bratislava, Slovakia.

This conference focuses on Climate Change Adaptation, with a spotlight on the CEE region. Featuring speakers and attendees from multiple continents, this event showcases cutting-edge science, research, and practical innovations. Attendees will gain insights into the latest practices, successful case studies, and project financing methods.

Experience impactful presentations and stunning LCD projections in an intimate atmosphere. For those unable to attend in person, the conference will be streamed live on YouTube for registered participants, and all presentations will be available on our YouTube channel. All content, including live streams and YouTube videos, will be professionally translated.

The conference addresses the following key areas:

  • Climate Change: Strategies, Policies, Adaptation planning to cope with and mitigate ongoing impacts.
  • Green Infrastructure: Creating cool zones, improving air quality, and enhancing energy efficiency.
  • Blue Infrastructure: Promoting rainwater harvesting, enhancing water resilience, and innovative water retention.
  • Green-Blue Infrastructure Synergy: Amplifying adaptation measures, reducing energy consumption, and improving water management.
  • Climatically sustainable wooden buildings: Modern wooden buildings, Multi-storey wooden buildings, and Civil buildings.
  • Urban Planning: Integrating climate adaptation into urban development to create resilient cities.
  • Buildings: Focusing on energy efficiency, sustainable practices, and reducing emissions.
  • Energy Efficiency: Investigating innovative technologies, reducing GHG emissions, and linking with green and blue infrastructure.
  • Waste Management: Addressing and integrating waste produced from other focus areas for holistic sustainability.

Join for a comprehensive exploration of these critical topics and contribute to advancing effective climate adaptation strategies.The conference will also announce the results of the famous Green Roof of the Year competition. Winners will be recognized for their contributions to sustainable development and innovations in green roofing.

Save the date: World Green Infrastructure Congress 2026

Join us at: World Green Infrastructure Congress BARCELONA 2026 October 27–29: CCIB – Parc del Fòrum, Barcelona (Spain) October 30: University of Lleida – Catalunya (Spain) Organized by: University of Lleida Co-organized by the World Green Infrastructure Network (WGIN). Visit WGIC26.Barcelona

WGIC26 – Closing the gap between communities of practice for green infrastructure and health

  WGIN’s mission statement is “The World Green Infrastructure Network advocates for optimal use of green infrastructure in the urban built environment for the health and well-being of people and the planet.” WGIN has in recent years acknowledged a gap in the attention we’ve given to the human health and well-being benefits of urban green infrastructure. The next World Green Infrastructure Congress, WGIC26, in Barcelona in October 2026 will address this gap by dedicating one of its three thematic tracks to health and well-being. Our congress hosts, the University of Lleida, expect this track will contribute to increased focus on health and well-being within our community of practice, and will hopefully contribute to increased interdisciplinary collaboration with the health sector. WGIN members and stakeholders are encouraged to support and help distribute the soon to be published call for papers for WGIC26 through their websites, social media and personal networks and to assist in recruiting the health community to join us in Barcelona. Through stronger interdisciplinary collaboration we can foster greater recognition and support for urban and building integrated green infrastructure and its relevance in health research, policies and practices.

Green Street Standards – A Breakthrough in Urban Green and Blue Infrastructure (Wrocław, Poland)

Planning and designing green and blue infrastructure (GBI) as an integral part of urban streets – as is widely recognised – requires support in terms of organisation, funding, legislation and social awareness. As demonstrated by the case of Wrocław – one of the fastest-growing cities in Poland – standards can serve as an effective tool for supporting the implementation of GBI. These standards include guidelines and model solutions that integrate spatial, technical, and environmental aspects. Before establishing these standards, introducing green and blue infrastructure to Wrocław’s streets – even in newly planned projects – posed significant challenges. The main obstacles included insufficient space, the location of underground utility networks in areas that could otherwise accommodate trees, and relatively low public awareness of the importance of creating proper conditions for vegetation, especially large street trees.
