Welcome to the

European Federation of Green Roof  & Wall Associations

the organisation that brings Europe’s green roof and wall associations together.

The sixteen associations promote and encourage the uptake of green roofs and green walls in their countries to help address issues related to climate change, ecosystem services, green infrastructure and lack of green space in the built environment.

In the light of the launch of the European Green Infrastructure and Ecosystem Services Strategy the Federation regularly attends working groups and meetings in Brussels organised by the European Commission. This new approach to cities being promoted by the Commission gives the Federation an important role to play in the coming years.

To support this mission, the Federation is the main endorser of the 3rd European Urban Green Infrastructure Conference in April 2019 in London, UK.
The first EUGIC – and co-founded by the EFB – was held in Vienna (AUT) in 2015, and was followed by the 2nd EUGIC in Budapest (HU). We have also published the first ever Green Roof and Wall Market report as white paper in 2015. Soon the European Green Market Report will be published.
