The Green Alliance, an influential UK- based environmental think tank, is soon to release a report addressing the political challenge of acting on the two priority areas of climate change and the reform of the EU budget. CECODHAS Housing Europe
The year 2010 presents the European Union with the opportunity to define a fresh focus for the next 10 years. Amongst the host of challenges that face Europe in 2010, there are none more pressing than the twin tasks of securing a stable climate and moving to a low-carbon economy.
Amongst other contributors, CECODHAS-Housing Europe’s president David Orr makes the case for increased EU spending on energy efficiency: ‘the big win within reach’. The EU budget can leverage further support from member states and investment banks, Orr argues, helping unlock the massive potential for energy savings and spurring the retrofit of the EU’s housing stock.
