World Green Roof Day is a global celebration dedicated to the promotion and awareness of green roofs. Green roofs, also known as living roofs, are roofs that are partially or completely covered with vegetation, which can include a growing medium, a waterproofing layer, and other protective features. These innovative structures offer numerous environmental benefits, such as reducing urban heat island effects, improving air quality, providing natural habitats for wildlife, and managing stormwater runoff.

On this day, individuals, communities, and organisations around the world come together to share knowledge, showcase successful green roof projects, and inspire others to consider green roofing solutions. Look out for social media campaigns highlighting the benefits and beauty of green roofs.

This year World Green Roof Day is all about working together to protect our climate for people and nature.

This year we invite you to, quite literally, share your views, we want to see your best sunsets, wildflowers, rooftop boxing, and high-rise vegetable plot. Get involved with World Green Roof Day 2024 on June 6th! Make sure you use the hashtag #WGRD2024
