Lessons from Cities Around the World: Sustainability and Resilience through Green Schoolyards

When:  Jul 26, 2023 from 02:00:00 PM to 03:00:00 PM (ET)

This webinar is hosted by National League of Cities.

Cities across the globe are experiencing an urgent need to mitigate and adapt to climate change. As city officials everywhere grapple with ways to emphasize sustainability and resiliency goals, many are turning to nature-based solutions. These solutions can happen right where children are every day: in schools. There is growing momentum to transform school grounds into nature-filled spaces for learning and play, and to enhance sustainable practices, and climate resilience while improving health and education outcomes – especially for children most impacted by systems of inequity and environmental injustice. Join us to hear municipal leaders from across the globe gather to discuss lessons learned, promising practices, how greening schoolyards helps achieve multiple city goals, and to have your questions answered.
