Green Infrastructure Policy Virtual Symposium

Developing Green Infrastructure Drivers

Overview

Green infrastructure can play a pivotal role in COVID19 recovery as nature-based solutions contribute to improved public health, climate adaptation, job creation and economic activity. The greatest drivers of green roof and wall development is supportive green infrastructure policy and the organization of advocacy groups.

For this virtual event, GRHC will bring together policymakers and advocates from across North America who have lead green infrastructure policy programs and campaigns with the goal of making it easier for jurisdictions to implement similar policies and providing a framework that will support organizations in their advocacy efforts.
Green infrastructure implementation through incentives or supportive policy provides city, state and federal government with shovel-ready projects that can speed up COVID19 recovery and create healthier communities for everyone.
