Abstract
Anthropogenic climate change has signaled a rise in global temperatures for decades, and urban cities have been the victims of some of the most extreme heat from those temperature increases. Green walls are used to shade and cool buildings, especially in urban areas, but are not widely adopted. Education programs aimed towards providing students with an understanding of green wall benefits and an ability to get involved in the research of these walls.
