For three years, 12 regions from nine European countries have worked together in the GreenInfraNet project to promote the development and implementation of green infrastructure in European regions. The role of green infrastructure is vital in a European context as it contributes to human wellbeing, biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation and helps reduce the vulnerability of ecosystems to natural disasters. The green infrastructure approach has become part of the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable growth.

Summing up the partnership’s achievements, GreenSpace issue 6 looks forward to the lasting impacts of the GreenInfraNet project.
