The AIPH World Green City Awards are designed to champion ambitious nature-orientated approaches to city design and operation. Specifically, they seek to recognise public initiatives relying on a greater use of plants and nature to create better city environments – helping to fulfil local aspirations for improved economic, social and environmental resilience. The awards celebrate innovation, achievement, and commitment to the globally recognised imperative to embrace nature-orientated solutions that harvest the power of plants and associated ecosystems services to help address the major challenges facing cities today – or tomorrow.

AIPH initiated these awards to bring wide recognition to the value of plants in providing solutions for common city problems and create an enabling environment to shape and nurture a strategic shift in city governance and planning.

Entries are now open for the inaugural 2022 edition of the AIPH World Green City Awards. Entries close on 14th March 2022.

The online portal is now open to receive entries. Registering your city’s profile on the portal starts the submission process and does not necessarily infer an entry in itself. It simply allows you to access more information, (including an offline copy of the application form), which will assist you in compiling your city’s entry over time, allowing you to come back and edit/add information pertaining to your entry, and to submit your city’s entry online before the 14th March 2022 deadline. You can register simply and easily here: https://eu.eventscloud.com/eSites/200225492/Homepage

Cities worldwide are keen to learn best practice in city greening and to promote their own greening achievements. Cities strive to be ‘green cities’, and AIPH World Green City awards are offered in recognition of excellence in this regard. World city awards are highly coveted, bringing attention to a city that results in increased business, tourism and development as well as community pride. The AIPH World Green City Awards are unique in the sense that they are the first global awards where plants and nature are the core focus.

These prestigious awards provide an opportunity for cities and partners to be associated with the only global awards in the world celebrating urban living green.

The AIPH World Green City Awards is an ongoing competition, with entries open every 2 years, allowing approximately 18 months from the call for entries to the awards ceremony. Cities are invited to enter, and the winners are announced at a special gala event awards ceremony. Winners may also be invited to showcase their greening projects at an AIPH approved International Horticultural Expo.

AIPH warmly invite all cities, large and small, to enter the AIPH World Green City Awards today!
