Vertical Garden Inauguration in Bogotá

In the framework of World Cities Day, Greenpeace Colombia installs a vertical garden in the El Rosario square and demands that the Bogotá Council declare a climate emergency, green the city and expand and protect green spaces. “The future of Bogotá depends on how we manage urban development,” warns Tatiana Céspedes, a member of the Greenpeace campaign team in Colombia. Cities such as Madrid, Rome and Mexico City replicate this initiative that highlights the importance of green spaces in cities, which generate more than 70 percent of global CO2 emissions.
