Green roofs can contribute to climate adaptation and a sustainable urban environment. Whethermunicipalities for these or other reasons should encourage green roofs, depends on the goals that areaimed at. For the municipality of Tilburg opportunities were investigated for usage of green roofs asmeasure for climate adaptation and for scaling up green roof in Tilburg and other municipalities. Inthree projects in Tilburg the opportunities for the application of green roofs and the attitude of actorsinvolved were investigated. Also, the experiences of six other municipalities, which are promotinggreen roofs, were examined. The type of project, purpose, and insight in costs and benefits affect theattitude of actors and hence the opportunities for application and scaling. In the examinedmunicipalities green roofs in general are stimulated with subsidy, communication and pilot projects.The experience with green roofs in other municipalities are predominantly positive.
