World Green Roof Day
World Green Roof Day – Swansea
Join us on Wednesday, 4th June to celebrate Swansea’s green roofs and learn more about how they’re transforming our city and why they matter. Hear from the people behind Swansea’s green roof movement.
This event is in the run-up to World Green Roof Day on Friday, 6th June, when cities worldwide will showcase how green roofs are making urban spaces greener and more sustainable.
With over 10 green roofs across Swansea, we’re leading the way in Wales by creating spaces that:
Absorb rain and reduce flooding
Keep buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter
Provide habitats for birds, bees, and insects
Reduce noise and improve air quality
Protect roofs and make them last longer
