AIPH Green City Conference
City greening solutions for arid environments
Arid environments present many challenges for sustainable and liveable green cities, but the use of nature can provide solutions. The AIPH Green City Conference, held in Doha, Qatar, explored how plants can be used to address the issues in hot, dry environments and how this knowledge can be expanded to other cities around the globe.
AIPH Industry Conference
Innovations in water management for ornamentals production
The supply of sufficient, good quality water is vital for the survival of the ornamentals production industry. This was already challenging in many countries and now, with climate change, the challenges are even more widespread. The industry needs to innovate to survive where water is scarce and to adapt to legislative pressures on supply and pollution prevention.
