Why Green Infrastructure Matters in Vancouver

As a city renowned for its environmental leadership, Vancouver is setting the standard for green infrastructure in North America. With a strong commitment to climate action, Vancouver has embraced green roofs, rain gardens, and urban forests to enhance stormwater management, reduce urban heat, and improve biodiversity. The city's Greenest City Action Plan and Rain City Strategy highlight the importance of nature-based solutions in adapting to climate change while creating a healthier, more livable urban environment.

This conference offers an unmatched opportunity to network with fellow professionals, exchange ideas, and discover new opportunities in the rapidly growing green infrastructure sector. Attendees can earn up to 6 continuing education credits, making this a valuable experience for professional development.
