Addressing Global Challenges

Slider

BGCI’s network of botanic gardens attracts hundreds of millions of visitors each year, and many gardens engage their visitors on sustainability issues such as reducing carbon, water, energy and waste. However, changing visitor behaviour related to sustainability is not a mainstream activity in the world’s botanic gardens despite the fact that gardens are ideally placed to influence attitudes and behaviours, their visitors are generally high consumers, and shifting to more sustainable practices is consistent with our values.

Public Engagement & Education

BGCI has an extensive Public Engagement programme and education team who support botanic gardens in their public engagement and education efforts through a range of resources, tools, and projects.
