Die anstehenden Herausforderungen und Leistungseigenschaften der Kultur „RASEN“, im Umfeld des Klimawandels und der Bedeutung der Biodiversität, werden mit dem Konferenz-Leitthema voll abgedeckt.

“Development & Sustainability”

The challenges for the future of the turfgrass sector are many and diverse. Climate change impacts are exceeding the worst expectations. Strong restrictions on the use of chemicals and fertilizers, and increasing pressure on natural resources (notably water, energy and land) are expected.

There is an accelerating loss of ecosystem services and biodiversity in the urban landscapes. All this calls for more research and innovation for a sustainable future.  

The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in Agenda 2030 will constitute the conference programme framework.

We have identified seven SDGs related to the turfgrass industry:

• SDG 3 (Good health and well-being),
• SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities),
• SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production),
• SDG 13 (Climate action),
• SDG 14 (Life below water),
• SDG 15 (Life on land),
• SDG 17 (Partnership for the goals).

The conference is an arena established to exchange knowledge and experiences with the best experts in this field. It will bring together researchers, greenkeepers, superintendents, planning authorities, technical experts, consultants, high level turfgrass managers and top industry delegates. This will give us the best opportunities to improve and extend important international interdisciplinary collaboration, which is the only viable strategy to overcome the current challenges and create a sustainable future.
