Green roofs, flooded streets, biodiversity that doesn't add up on paper. The debates driving WGIC26, before the congress opens.
The World Green Infrastructure Network has long recognized that the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and interconnected sustainability challenges we face today transcend borders and affect all nations, albeit with profound unequal impacts and responsibilities.
Due to overwhelming international interest, WGIC26 has extended the submission deadline. Researchers and professionals now have until 31 May 2026 to present their work.
The best papers presented at WGIC26 will be fast-tracked for publication in Special Issues of Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, a leading Elsevier journal in urban green infrastructure.
Gabriel Pérez, Chair of WGIC26, participated in REBUILD 2026 alongside Jeffrey Brock of Moneo Brock, exploring how green infrastructure enhances hospitality environments.
