This year #worldgreenroofday will be celebrated on Friday 6th June 2025. The day follows #worldenvironmentday and is an opportunity for both professionals involved with the design and construction of green roofs and the general public to promote green roofs for #climateresilience. We are currently gathering posts and videos from across the globe to be shared as part of the #WGRD campaign. If you are a company, consultant, designer, developer or involved in #realestate and want to play a role in #WGRD please get in touch.

World Green Roof Day 2024 celebrations around the globe included open rooftop tours, experiences, smoothie bikes and a Roof to Roof Run. From Bangladesh to British Columbia, Australia to Amsterdam, Chicago to Czechia and Mexico to Milton Keynes, rooftops are one of the most valuable assets we have in common for people and nature. Thank you to everyone around the world that took part. #WGRD2024
A vision of the world's first nature based airport #greenroofs

Airports are some of the most wasteful, polluting, and stressful places on Earth —yet we keep building them the same way. But what if an airport could do more than just move people? What if it could reconnect us with nature? Welcome to the world’s first Nature Based Airport, designed by BIOTONOMY — a game-changing step toward sustainable aviation. Why does this matter? Airports consume massive amounts of energy and water, while polluting the air and surrounding environment. Yet, they are designed to be cold, lifeless, and stressful. This one is different. It produces energy, harvests, and recycles water, and It feels like walking through a forest—a one-of-a-kind experience. What makes it different? ✅ Green Infrastructure – Nature Based Solutions are everywhere. Green Roofs and green Walls keep the airport cool and reduce energy use. ✅ 100% Wastewater Recycling – Every drop of water is reused for nurturing thriving ecosystems. No waste, no pollution. ✅ Powered by Nature – Solar and wind energy keep the airport running with minimal impact. ✅ Wildlife-Friendly – Designed to protect and support nature instead of pushing it away. This is more than an airport - It’s proof that we can build big without destroying nature. A huge thank you to our bold clients and visionary investors who believe in this mission and are making it a reality. This first-of-its-kind airport will be built in the Pacific, setting a new standard for sustainable travel. More details coming soon—stay tuned. #Biotonomy #Sustainable #NatureBasedSolutions
So much more than just a roof....... #greenroof
Je kunt zoveel meer met een dak. Bekijk dit waanzinnige project waar woningen, een hotel en veel urban sports samen zullen komen. Midden in de Métropole du Grand Paris, Ville de Saint-Denis echoën de Olympische Spelen 2024 nog volop na. Hier komt onder andere een mountainbikeparcours op het dak en het grootste BMX-park van Frankrijk. Dit project is het eerste wapenfeit van de toekomstige wijk Plaine Saulnier, dichtbij het Stade de France en het schitterende nieuwe Olympische zwembad.

🇫🇷🏗 Il y a tout juste un an, nous commencions les travaux de notre premier projet à l'Académie du Climat - Ville de Paris avec Paris Transition Écologique et Climat, MEHA - Construction Bois et Topager ! 🌱 Nous sommes impatients de partager les photos de la végétation qui commence à se réveiller après l'hiver. ___ 🇺🇸🏗 Just over a year ago, we began construction on our first project at the Académie du Climat - Ville de Paris with Ville de Paris, MEHA - Construction Bois and Topager! 🌱 We cannot wait to share pictures of its vegetation starting to wake up after winter.
These look like incredibly stable #greenroofs

Robots meet #greenroofs in Switzerland
We finally (www.wepfair.com) carried out the first trial with our energy green roof mowing robot on our Mattenbach test site in Winterthur with scientists from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). A small but important step towards making biosolarroofs much cheaper and allowing more biodiversity to thrive sustainably😉 #zhaw #innosuisse #solarspar #biosolar #wepfair

🌿 Green Roof Innovation in Melbourne! 🌿 The Victorian Government have partnered with the City of Melbourne, Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and the Department of Transport and Planning to deliver a demonstration retrofit green roof at 1 Treasury Place. Evergreen Infrastructure was commissioned to build this beautiful green roof in the heart of Melbourne, working alongside our colleagues at Hassell and University of Melbourne, Superbloom and Harris HMC and SEMZ . This project showcases the benefits of green roofs through industry-led research, testing different systems, planting mixes, installation methods, and maintenance approaches—alongside a cost analysis. This initiative provides a crucial case study for developers, landlords, and the construction industry, helping to bridge knowledge gaps and overcome barriers to green roof adoption. By strengthening the case for more green roofs, this project supports a greener, more climate-resilient Melbourne and southeastern Australia. I couldn't be more proud working alongside a city council and so many committed people that are so passionate about greening our wonderful city. Greenroofs are a vital inclusion in our cities are bring so many environmental, economic and social benefits. A huge thanks to the dedicated people behind the scenes who ensured this build ran to plan and provided vital support throughout the build.

Today we celebrate a big mile stone for the Green our Rooftop project with the completed green roof on 1 Treasury Place finally getting a media announcement. :) This project has been completed by the Victorian Government as a joint initiative between the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, Department of Transport and Planning and the City of Melbourne. The project has been the cumulation of almost 8 years of work from multiple staff members across City of Melbourne and State Government as well as two external design teams, this milestone is a huge achievement for all involved. We now look to publish a case study and a benefits assessment on the green roof to demonstrate how other property owners and developers can retrofit their building with a cost effective green roof. Further information on the project can be found at https://lnkd.in/geuPVyyb. A massive thank you to everyone involved over the years, this project would not have been possible with out your dedication, leadership and aspirational vision. Please tag anyone I have forgotten or am not connected with!

A new canteen in Italy’s renowned Food Valley integrates sustainability with the surrounding landscape. The project features a green roof formed using excavated earth, a process that involved removing a section of the site’s terrain and elevating it above ground level. Nestled in the idyllic countryside of Parma, the Mutti Canteen by Carlo Ratti Associati sits within the production grounds of one of Italy’s most iconic food brands—the family-owned tomato empire, Mutti.
