The Federal Association of Building Green eV (BuGG) is holding the BuGG specialist congress “Biodiversity of Building Green” on April 24th and 25th, 2024 in Düsseldorf – a two-day face-to-face event on biological diversity around the building with green roofs and facades.

The Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection with Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke has taken over the patronage of the specialist congress. Steffi Lemke will also provide a welcome video message.

The varied conference program with various specialist lectures on roof and facade greening is divided into five thematic blocks. These are chosen so that a general introduction to the topic of “biodiversity” first addresses the legal framework and then various scientific studies. Practical examples from companies and offices operating in this area show various forms of implementation and information on direct and indirect funding and certification systems round off the specialist congress and provide perspectives.

1. Introduction to “Biodiversity”
2. Legal framework
3. Scientific investigations
4. Practical examples
5. Funding and certification

At the end of each thematic block with three to four presentations, there is a panel discussion with the speakers in which any remaining questions are answered and discussed.

An accompanying specialist exhibition from various companies and an additional poster exhibition from research and teaching round off the specialist event.
