Green lessons from the Green Days Congress and Expo at Jyväskylä 11-12.2.2026
A visit to the annual Green Days in Jyväskylä is the easiest way to stay up to date with what is happening on the green sector – especially in Finnish cities but also internationally. Sharing the passion for urban green and biodiversity researchers, Elina Siren and Laura Uimonen, long-time attendees, introduced the event to team member Hamed. Inspired by the experience we gathered the most interesting highlights of the two days seminar, organised by The Finnish Association of Landscape Industries, Viherympäristöliitto. As first-year attendee, Hamed describes Green Days as a well-‑curated congress and exhibition that brought together researchers, practitioners, and innovators working with nature-based‑ solutions and biodiversity within the built environment. The event combined an engaging fair with a strong lecture series, offering the chance to meet professionals deeply committed to environmentally responsible design.
