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 and policymakers, city partners, and other important stakeholders to make cities greener and create awareness for this important topic.

World Green Roof and Green Façade Congress Basel
Will the city of the future be greener?
Global warming increases the overheating of cities worldwide. More and more people today live in traffic-optimized urban areas characterized by concrete and asphalt. Significant cooling effects can be achieved on and around buildings with plants and their evaporation capacity.
Basel is considered the “world capital of green roofs”. With the scientific-practical world congress as well as a complementary Green Building Week, knowledge transfer is combined with illustration on practical examples through excursions in Basel and throughout Switzerland.
Uniting Experts in Science,
Planning, and Architecture
The World Congress is aimed at scientists, planners, architects, landscape architects, construction experts, greening specialists and representatives of public authorities.
