Today, on Green Roofs Day, it is crucial to reflect on the importance and benefits of Green Roofs and Vertical Gardens as effective strategies to combat the extreme climatic conditions impacting the entire world.

In recent years, the issue of climate change has gained undeniable prominence in Portugal, with the past summer serving as a stark warning. High temperatures have reached alarming levels, surpassing 60 degrees Celsius on the ground in some regions of Europe. This extreme temperature increase is not just a discomfort but also a threat to public health, the environment, and urban infrastructure.

Implementing Green Roofs offers an innovative and sustainable solution to mitigate the effects of high temperatures and improve the quality of life in urban areas. These vegetative systems on roofs and walls provide several significant benefits, such as:

PROMOTING BIODIVERSITY

ENERGY SAVINGS

REDUCING THE 'HEAT ISLAND' EFFECT

IMPROVING AIR QUALITY

ENHANCING THERMAL INSULATION

MANAGING RAINWATER

INCREASING PROPERTY VALUE

On this day, we celebrate not only innovative architectural solutions but also the commitment to a more sustainable and resilient future.

In celebration, watch the report on the program 'Hora de Agir - Ep.43,' exploring this theme. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvnQ2g3CBSQ&t=113s)
