The European Federation of Green Roof and Living Walls Associations (EFB) is an umbrella organisation for all Green Roof and Wall Associations in Europe. Our goal is to spread awareness and available information about green roofs and walls. Therefore, we launched an online webinar series touching upon various topics related to green roofs and walls that are relevant all around Europe. We want to motivate municipalities, decision-makers, policymakers, and other important stakeholders to make cities greener and create awareness for this important topic.
