Nature-based solutions: Dr. Helen Toxopeus Purple-Roof

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.

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.
