This comprehensive report provides details of the Beacon, hosted by Barclays Bank, on living roofs. It details the benefits of green roofs from a developer, user and environmental perspective.
It includes an action plan for biodiversity, an in-depth case study of Barclays Bank’s green roof at Canary Wharf London, and additional sources of information and advice.
It also highlights how the fast reducing diversity of ecosystems, species and genes means a correspondingly fast reduction in opportunities for new products, technologies and business, and shows how even businesses located in urban environments can improve their impacts on biodiversity through the installation of green roofs on buildings - which also deliver cost, comfort and quality benefits.
