3 Minutes of the 4 th Polish CoM Dialogue Platform meeting and workshop 4 th Polish CoM Dialogue Platform meeting and workshop for municipalities took place on the 8 th of May 2013 in Warsaw. The workshop part was devoted again to the topic of green roofs and living walls and their inclusion in the SEAPs, while the Covenant key actors meeting included discussion on how to further improve the Polish Covenant Action Plan, as well as discussion on several issues interesting for CoM signatories (including upcoming CoM signing ceremony in Brussels, upcoming training on SEAP implementation organized by PNEC and the role of the NET-COM discussion list). The event was co-organised with the Garden over the Head project to optimize time, travelling costs and CO 2 emissions. In total the event in Warsaw gathered 54 participants - representatives of local authorities and other stakeholders (including official Platform members 1 ). The workshop for municipalities started at 9:00 with an opening speech given by Maria Stankiewicz, Director of PNEC. It was a continuation of a previous workshop concerning inclusion of green roofs and living walls projects in Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) and their influence on the efficiency of energy consumption in buildings. This topic is gaining popularity in Poland as except for good results in terms of energy efficiency and CO 2 reduction, such projects can bring also other benefits and many Covenant signatories consider including them in their SEAPs. This second part of the workshop on green roofs and living walls focused on the following main issues: Selection of substrate for green roofs and walls; Selection of plant species for green roofs and walls; Campaigning and financing green roof investments; Analysis of model green roofs and walls investments in municipalities; Organisation of Green Roof Days to promote this concept among the citizens. During the workshop the participants could discuss their ideas and doubts with invited experts from Polish Green Roof Association and Green Roof Competence Center at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences.
