The city of Amsterdam prioritises the development and protection of urban greenspaces. However, as climate change poses continual
threats for urban areas - such as increased temperatures in the summer, flooding, and loss of urban biodiversity- supporting a thriving tapestry of urban greenspaces remains a top priority.
Through the Greening the City track of Shape the City, conferences can support initiatives that strengthen green spaces, protect urban ecosystems, and improve the environmental quality of Amsterdam.
Help keep Amsterdam green with your event
Activities within this track focus on urban greening, biodiversity, and water stewardship.
Delegates can contribute to environmental initiatives that:
Support the creation and maintenance of green spaces in neighbourhoods
Strengthen biodiversity through planting and habitat improvement
Help remove plastic waste from canals and waterways
In doing so, conferences move from discussing sustainability to actively contributing to a healthier urban environment.
