Join us for the online launch of our research report, Fahrenheit 2040: heating and cooling in the EU. The report considers the outlook for heating and cooling decarbonisation based on the Öko-Institut’s assessment of the current EU policy framework. The event will include a presentation of our findings and a discussion on further action needed to […]
Heating and cooling accounts for around half of the energy consumed in the European Union. Despite significant measures to reduce demand, residential, tertiary and industrial buildings still need heat and cold. Greater flexibility through energy system integration and the deployment of renewables and waste heat in District Heating and Cooling (DHC) networks will contribute to […]

Join coalition members Feantsa for a presentation of the study ‘Energy renovation and heat transition options for the least-performing building types in Hungary’.The study examines the current state of the Hungarian building stock and examines how its poor condition presents a range of financial and technical difficulties in the bid to improve air quality and […]
The 2024 edition of the Euroheat & Power looks into the most promising pathways for District Heating & Cooling decarbonisation, spurring local change for global impact.
The Renocally project is organising a webinar on 6 June to share and compare energy efficiency policies and renovation initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans. The webinar will also touch upon opportunities and challenges for public authorities and present practical cases from Slovakia, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Cities are packed with concrete and buildings, trapping heat and creating "urban heat islands" that are significantly warmer than surrounding areas. This phenomenon can lead to a cascade of issues for residents, particularly the already vulnerable. As extreme weather becomes increasingly frequent, Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) are an important part of the answer for cities. By […]
From 11 to 13 June, the European Sustainable Energy Week brings together public authorities, private companies, NGOs and consumers to promote initiatives accelerating decarbonisation through green technologies and solutions towards a fair and just transition for people and competitive businesses.
On day one, 11 June, the go-to of the afternoon is ‘Solar talks: getting the most out of your roof’ featuring Cool Heating Coalition director Delia Villagrasa moderating a panel which includes the lovely Caroline Milne, head of communications for coalition member BPIE, and highlights the potential for solar thermal to power the #CoolHeatingRevolution.
The recast Energy Efficiency Directive requires cities with over 45.000 inhabitants to develop local heating and cooling plans. Member states play a crucial role in providing funding, aligning legal frameworks, offering technical support, and ensuring access to relevant energy-related data. Yet, a recent track report by Energy Cities reveals a significant gap in readiness among […]
This is the event we all have been waiting for! 1st Summit of the European Community for Integrated Home Renovation Services. Hundreds of one-stop shops operate all over Europe to make ambitious home energy renovation simple and accessible to homeowners. Thousands of organisations support their activities – public authorities, energy agencies, suppliers, homeowner associations, energy […]
Featuring coalition members CAN Europe and Energy Cities, this session explores the topic of streamlining permits for renewables. 2022 and 2023 were record years for new wind and solar installations but reaching the EU’s 2030 renewable energy target will require further significant scaling-up of the installed capacity. The REPowerEU Plan set in motion legislative and […]
It's quiz time in Brussels! Join 4 experts on a gamified mission: crafting the perfect energy-saving policy mix for an EU nation. How? With REFEREE, a cutting-edge tool to simulate energy efficiency measures and gauge their impacts. Why? Energy efficiency is more than just savings; it boosts socioeconomic development, welfare, air quality, jobs, and more. […]
Featuring coalition member E3G’s Tsvetelina Kuzmanova contributing to the discussion, this session focuses on mobilising transition finance for a net-zero, energy secure, and competitive economy. The next EU mandate will be responsible for implementing the EU’s 2030 climate target. This requires the next Commission to secure over €620 billion p.a. of investments for the Green […]
The session aims to explore and promote effective multi-level governance strategies that facilitate the integration of local insights, knowledge, and initiatives into the broader national and EU climate goals and policies. The focus will be on how to best address energy poverty, including the importance of collaboration and coordination between local, regional, national, and EU […]
Following the European Parliament’s resolution for a European geothermal energy strategy, representatives of the European Commission, Member States, industry, research institutes and civil society will discuss the challenges, benefits and opportunities for the mass deployment of geothermal to achieve EU climate goals. The challenges to be addressed are: structures to share national actions to increase […]
Reorienting the debate on the Central Eastern Europe’s decarbonisation, we will explore key political actions that leverage the energy transition to deliver on regional priorities of security, industrial growth and fighting energy poverty, while enabling the EU to meet its climate targets. The distinguished panel features Julian Popov, Fellow of the European Climate Foundation and […]
