World Monuments Fund’s Cultivating Resilience program has been made possible by support from The Gerard B. Lambert Foundation.
From increased flooding, longer dry spells, invasive pests, or new plant diseases, parks and gardens are uniquely vulnerable to shifts in climate. They also present valuable opportunities to build climate resilience by countering the urban heat island effect, mitigating pollution, fostering biodiversity, and more.
Join us for a virtual event with local experts from the Chinampas of Xochimilco (Mexico), Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove (Nigeria), and Central Park (United States) to explore how these three sites fit into a global initiative to preserve green landscapes for a more sustainable future.
This virtual program is free and open to the public and is presented in partnership with the Iniciativa Agroecológica Xochimilco A.C. (IAX).
Speakers will be announced shortly.
