This school from Solana de los Barros (Badajoz, Spain) is already experiencing the positive effects of the green walls and roofs implemented under the framework of the LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN project. The temperature inside the classrooms has already decreased between 11 and 15 %.

Today, the Major of the province of Badajoz, Miguel Ángel Gallardo, has officially inaugurated the nature-based solutions (NBS) implemented in the schools since December 2021.
