Green Roofs For A Changing Climate
The World Green Roof Congress (WGRC) brings together leading green roof experts from across the world, providing a platform for communicating the latest case studies, research and policy initiatives. This exciting and respected congress drives the uptake and implementation of green roofs, providing a greater understanding of their benefits and stimulates innovation.
