Dilmah launches Grey2Green: Call to greening urban spaces

Dilmah Conservation and the United Nations Global Compact Sri Lanka launched Grey2Green in November — a transformative national movement inviting individuals, communities, organisations, and students to turn concrete “grey” areas into thriving green spaces. Unlike traditional greening efforts, Grey2Green is not a tree-planting campaign; it is a grassroots, citizen-powered movement seeded by Dilmah. The initiative empowers the public, universities, environmental groups, and institutions to identify neglected rooftops, unused land, industrial sites, and degraded pockets of the city and convert them into ecological oases. To support participants, Dilmah will provide training in urban forestry, tree ecology, landscape planning, and ecosystem management through its expert network, ensuring that each site is restored using sound, sustainable science.
