Sempergreen co-organises WGIC 2026 in Barcelona: Join the movement for greener cities

Posted on Monday 28 July, 2025

We are proud to announce that the World Green Infrastructure Congress 2026 will take place in Barcelona — and Sempergreen is stepping in as a co-organiser and official sponsor of this major international event. The congress, held under the umbrella of the World Green Infrastructure Network (WGIN), will be hosted at the modern CCIB venue on 27–28 October 2026, followed by two days of site visits and workshops around Barcelona and Lleida. WGIC is the world’s leading event dedicated to sustainable urban development through green infrastructure.

Sempergreen deeply rooted in local green building

With one of our key offices and nurseries based in the Barcelona and Tarragona region, Sempergreen is deeply rooted in the local green building movement. Our very own Toni Amich, Sales & Marketing Manager of Sempergreen Iberica, will act as a member of the committee and local host. His expertise and passion for greener cities will help make this event a driving force for change — both in Spain and beyond.

What to Expect at WGIC 2026

WGIC 2026 offers a rich and dynamic programme centred around green infrastructure for a healthier and safer urban future — contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Attendees can look forward to:

Day 1: Global vision-setting with policy leaders, featuring strategies to scale green infrastructure, boost public-private partnerships, and positioning nature-based solutions as a core pillar of sustainable urban development.
Day 2: Mitigation & Adaptation: Innovations and implementation take centre stage in keynotes and panels featuring hands-on solutions for climate resilience and circular urban design.
Day 3 & 4: Field visits to cutting-edge projects in Barcelona and Lleida, plus hands-on workshops for effective collaboration.

Barcelona, a front-runner in sustainable urban design, provides the perfect setting for this international dialogue — from expanded green public spaces to active mobility initiatives. The University of Lleida will also play a central role, with insights from the EU-backed ‘Big4Life’ project on green roofs and biodiversity.
