EFB webinar „City Strategies to Support Building Greening“
This webinar hosted by the European Federation of Green Roof and Living Walls Associations (EFB) provides insights on city strategies to support building greening.
The European Federation of Green Roof and Living Walls Associations (EFB) represents the 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. The EFB started a series of online seminars to introduce the audience to various topics concerning green roofs and walls.
