World Green Infrastructure Network

The  new paper by WGIN’s EU Chapter “Green Roofs for Urban Rainwater and  Stormwater Management”, explores how green roofs can contribute to  more climate-resilient cities. The paper  highlights their role in  managing rainfall, reducing pressure on urban drainage systems, and  delivering wider benefits for biodiversity, urban cooling and   well-being.
 Published ahead of the European Commission’s forthcoming Climate Resilience  Framework, the paper underscores the importance of integrating green  infrastructure and nature-based solutions into urban planning and  climate adaptation  strategies..
