Decarbonising Europe’s building stock: energy efficiency, circular economy and whole-life carbon

EEB, BPIE and ECOS are glad to invite you to the webinar titled Decarbonising Europe’s building stock: energy efficiency, circular economy and whole-life carbon on Wednesday 10 November 2021, 15.00-16.30 (CET).

The European Green Deal, the Renovation Wave and the Recovery plan for Europe represent an unprecedented opportunity to refocus policy efforts on the effective decarbonisation of the European building stock. It’s time for policymakers and the construction value chain to break down silos and work together to achieve this objective. EU policies for zero-emission buildings must integrate whole-life carbon, energy efficiency and circular economy. In this webinar we will explore how these seemingly competing principles can work together in a coordinated strategy. Join us and participate in this essential discussion.
