Muelheim an der Ruhr, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - Flat roof with roof greening. Extensive roof greening with low-growing plants such as graesers and sedum plants, which largely maintain themselves without care. They are well adapted to the extreme site conditions on the roof, extreme temperatures, frost, wind, heat, sun and little water. Green roofs provide insulation in winter and heat protection in summer, acting as a natural air conditioning system to help save energy and strengthen urban climate resilience. Green roofs promote biodiversity and help mitigate urban warming caused by climate change.
