The 2025 Eurobarometer reveals that housing is one of the top concerns for Europeans while companies struggle to find workers, which is complicated by high rents. Recent national elections reveal the political vulnerability that housing policy failure brings. The 2040 emission cutting deadline is looming for governments.
This summit will consider different paths to decarbonisation which maintain the goal of liveable neighbourhoods and affordability.
From neighbourhood-scale renovation and pre-fabrication methods, to low carbon new delivery through bio-sourced materials, heat pumps and sustainable mobility. Projects that are showing the way from the public, social and cooperative housing sector will be showcased. The Summit will link with the EU policy and financial framework just ahead of the launch of the Affordable Housing plan, the deadline for re-allocation of Cohesion Funds for Housing, the roll out of the Social Climate Fund (SCF) and the implementation of the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
Join us on December 3 and 4 at the BIP Meeting Centre at Rue Royale 2/4, 1000 Brussels.
