Adivet conference on “Green building and water management”
On October 10, at the Auditorium of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, Adivet is organizing a conference on “Green buildings and water management”.
Sign up! Rendez-vous sur HelloAsso
Climate change is leading to less frequent but more intense rainfall events, as well as periods of drought and high temperatures, posing numerous problems, particularly in dense urban environments.
What role can vegetation play in this context?
Under what conditions and within what limits?
What are the prospects for the future?
Speakers from a variety of backgrounds will offer their insights, analyses and experiences on this issue. The day will also provide an opportunity for convivial exchanges.
