Green Roofs Australasia (GRA)Initially established as Green Roofs Australia in 2007, the name was changed in 2011 to incorporate New Zealand, the Philippines and consequently open the door for other countries in the region.

GRA is a registered not-for-profit Australian company that has actively advocated the use of green infrastructure for urban development to mitigate the impacts of climate change and to provide urban populations with an essential connection to nature through plants. GRA believes that plants are the real green. Green roof andgreen wall systems have always been the primary focus but GRA does acknowledge the primary benefits from urban vegetation does extend from the establishment of green corridors through cities which requires collaborationbetween all disciplines engaged in urban infrastructure planning, landscapes and buildings. For this reason GRA is committed to promoting any plant technologies.

The GRA vision is to promote the incorporation of green infrastructure into the urban fabric.

The GRA mission is to increase the awareness of urban green infrastructure with a primary focus on the economic, social and environmental benefits of green roofs, green walls and other vegetative systems that regenerate urban green spaces through education, advocacy, professional development and celebrations of excellence.

The importance of green roofs and walls is increasing worldwide, because it is an efficient and effective way to moderate the negative impacts of densely populated urban areas. Green roofs provide oxygen, reduce the urban air temperature and mitigate storm water run-offs. Green roof and wall systems are one solution to the impacts of climate change.
