Funding available for housing under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition programme

10th November 2021 | 14:00-15:00 CET | A special info session for Housing Europe members

The LIFE programme of the European Commission that makes possible the financing of projects in the field of the environment, biodiversity and climate has made available EUR 95 million for projects that boost the clean energy transition. This can be done by accelerating the market for it with the roll-out of technology, digitalisation, new services and business models and enhancing related professional skills; by building up on the policy framework at local, regional and national level or by involving and empowering citizens to be part of the so-called Clean Energy Transition.

Climate-neutral housing – Decarbonizing the housing stock in an inclusive and affordable way

4 November 2021, 13:15—14:30 GMT The #Housing2030 report travels to COP26

Buildings have the largest potential for improving energy efficiency and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonizing the housing stock is very costly and creates a financial burden on inhabitants, often causing “energy poverty” among lower-income population. In the UNECE region which includes most of the “rich” countries in the world, almost 42 million face arrears on their utility bills and more than 52 million people cannot keep their home adequately warm. There is a need for implementing large scale housing renovation programmes that are affordable for all. Such programmes are essential to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement and related SDGs.

Buildings at the heart of the EU’s new energy system

Our EU-funded project syn.ikia showing the way at #EUSEW21

This policy session will shed light on the potential that buildings offer for a successful transformation of the energy system by 2030 by empowering citizens at all levels and enabling the scale-up of holistic energy renovations. The speakers will present inspiring initiatives and best practices that are already in place at neighbourhood (Syn.ikia’s Sustainable Plus Energy Neighbourhoods), city (the MAtchUP project in València) and community level (REScoop’s citizen-led renovation). The presentations will highlight ways to empower residents to play a role in the energy transition while responding to their needs, especially lower-income households. These solutions place buildings in a broader and more interlinked context by reducing their energy use, acting as storage and ensuring a balanced grid, integrating renewables, using smart energy management systems as well as offering people a comfortable environment where to live.
