Nature-based solutions: Dr. Helen Toxopeus

We interviewed Dr. Helen Toxopeus, a researcher at Sustainable Finance Lab, Utrecht University on the importance of green roofs / vegetated roofs as nature-based solutions. Toxopeus is involved in the EU-wide project Naturvation, a project with the aim to assess what nature-based solutions can be achieved in cities, and what tools are required to realize urban sustainability goals. https://naturvation.eu/home Also, we wanted to understand more about the financial aspects of installing green roofs: what financial incentives are there available in the EU region? Folkert Tempelman from Studio Piso7 conducted the interview on behalf of Purple-Roof. Purple-Roof website: https://www.purple-roof.com/
