From the deep blue sea to the lush green forests, this day urges us to appreciate the vibrant colors of nature. So let's get started!
It's national bluegreening day on the 25th July.
In 2005, the term 'bluegreening' was coined to describe the act of promoting the conservation and preservation of aquatic environments, especially in urban areas. It was a response to the increasing awareness of the detrimental effects of human activities on the world's water bodies, including lakes, rivers, and oceans. Bluegreening aimed to highlight the need for sustainable practices and the importance of protecting these valuable ecosystems.
By 2007, the concept of bluegreening gained momentum as environmental organizations and activists actively promoted the term. The movement focused on integrating blue spaces, such as water bodies and waterfronts, into urban planning and development. Bluegreening initiatives aimed to enhance the quality of life for both humans and wildlife by creating accessible, vibrant, and sustainable blue spaces within cities.
In 2011, the importance of bluegreening reached the infrastructure sector. Architects, urban planners, and landscape designers began incorporating bluegreen elements into their designs, such as green roofs, rain gardens, and sustainable drainage systems. These practices helped manage stormwater runoff effectively, reduce urban heat island effect, and enhance biodiversity in urban areas.
By 2016, bluegreening gained recognition from international communities concerned about sustainable urban development. The term became widely acknowledged as an essential component of creating resilient cities and combating climate change. Various international conferences and forums discussed bluegreening strategies, sharing innovative ideas and best practices to inspire global action.
In recent years, bluegreening has entered the mainstream as individuals, businesses, and governments recognize the importance of sustainable water management. With increasing awareness of how blue spaces contribute to physical and mental well-being, more efforts are being made to restore and protect aquatic environments. Bluegreen infrastructure is being integrated into urban planning, reinforcing the idea that a healthy blue environment is integral to building sustainable and liveable cities.
