A Statistics Canada study last year showed there were roughly 670 deaths between 2000 and 2020 attributable to extreme heat events in 12 Canadian cities.

City water and sewer commission: ‘We would love to see more applicants’

A team of biophilia experts at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) have developed a ‘green’ office with more than 20 plants and a green wall in order to monitor whether, and in what ways, people working among greenery develop improved health.

Already this summer, London has experienced three heatwaves with temperatures regularly climbing above 30 degrees Celsius.

While no single solution can stop these impacts, experts say infrastructure like green roofs plays a valuable role in helping cities adapt.

Green roofs removed over 97.5 percent of deposited microplastics from the surrounding air.

The Ford government is rushing to pass legislation that would strip cities of one of their most effective tools to confront climate threats: green building standards.

Environmental advocates say the province’s Bill 17 will ‘deeply undercut’ the Toronto Green Standard, which has helped prevent floods and urban heating

Plant-covered facades help cool urban areas and provide habitats for plants, birds, insects and other organisms.

Green buildings are designed to minimise environmental impact throughout their lifecycle, from construction to demolition.

CSU researchers find crops protected by solar panels yield more food while plants help cool the panels, making them more efficient at generating electricity

Instead of relying solely on traditional pipes and tanks to remove rainwater, green infrastructure solutions manage rain where it falls.

Biophilic design has become the signature of modern architecture, blending the natural world with our built environments.

Over Easy Solar, a Norwegian manufacturer of vertical bifacial PV modules, has entered into a European distribution partnership with the Dutch Sempergreen Group, a supplier of green roofs and green facades.

This year, the Green Roof Infrastructure Network (GRIN) launched a groundbreaking project to bring climate action and resilience to communities across British Columbia (B.C.) through green roofs and green infrastructure.

In recent years, the concept of biophilic design has gained significant attention in the field of architecture, with its potential to create healing environments that promote the wellbeing of patients, staff, and visitors.

Climate change is making heat waves more frequent and intense

Rain gardens, green roofs, and bioretention cells can be beneficial alternatives to stormwater ponds

Bauder explains how green roofs can help meet biodiversity net gain (BNG) requirements, ensuring habitats for wildlife are left in a measurably enhanced condition compared to their state before development.

One innovative solution to this problem is the integration of green spaces into urban landscapes, with green roofs emerging as a particularly promising option.
