Six months until the deadline: let’s seize the opportunity and boost renovation activity!
The Energy Efficiency Directive requires every EU country to establish a long-term strategy for mobilising investment in the energy efficient renovation of their building stock, by 30 April 2014. 1 With just six months remaining to deliver national renovation strategies that could help ensure investment in European jobs and growth, and help deliver lower energy bills for struggling European citizens, our organisations urge national governments to: 1) Build lasting partnerships with industry, academia, financial institutions, NGOs and other actors.

Reaching 2 million new jobs: Energy Cities become the new ally of the Renovate Europe Campaign
A deep renovation of the EU building stock could provide an answer to Europe’s economic woes by triggering the creation of up to 2 million jobs!

Indeed, Energy Cities, the European association of local authorities engaged in the energy transition, is now representing the voice of cities in this ever-growing Europe-wide movement.
