Our homes, workplaces and schools should offer shelter from – not worsen – the climate crisis. And yet:
Three out of four buildings in the EU are not energy efficient
Many still use products that are unnecessarily carbon-intensive, like concrete and steel
Used materials are often down-cycled or discarded instead of being reused or recycled
We call for a new EU Commissioner for Housing and the Built Environment, with a portfolio encompassing housing, building decarbonisation, labour rights, and the circular economy.
We hope this will serve to speed up renovation, decarbonisation and circularity. We believe that Europe won't achieve its climate targets without it.
Read our new manifesto, produced alongside partners from a broad range of voices in collaboration, for a just and resilient built environment.
