This week the we delivered dozens of paper houses to EU decision makers for a DIY home renovation from their desk. The first renovation tool to collect and stick is the mighty one-stop-shop! One-stop-shops are essential in making energy efficient homes a reality for all. Especially for vulnerable households. They offer: ?? tailored guidance and advice ?? energy audits ?? help in accessing financial support ?? connections to reliable contractors —all in one place ?? They are key in aligning the EU’s social inclusion, energy efficiency, and climate policies. But to succeed they must be well-resourced, easily accessible, and managed on a not-for-profit basis.

The #BuildBetterLives campaign delivered DOZENS of paper houses to EU decision-makers, urging them to prioritise deep home renovations in 2025. Why? Because energy-efficient homes mean: ? Lower energy demand and bills ? Fewer emissions ? An end to energy poverty Let’s work together to ensure everyone has a safe, affordable, and energy-efficient home. #BuildBetterLives #CollectThemAll #Collectibles, #NewYearRenovation Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe Friends of the Earth Europe European Community Land Trust Network Youth and Environment Europe WECF International Red Cross EU Office E3G European Federation of Building and Woodworkers (EFBWW) Energy Cities Climate Alliance ECOS European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) European Environmental Bureau EAPN - European Anti Poverty Network REScoop.eu SOLIDAR & SOLIDAR Foundation Institute for Human Rights and Business Fern NGO ICLEI European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) Equinox: Racial Justice Initiative FEDARENE EuroHealthNet CEE Bankwatch Network Beyond Fossil Fuels Caritas Europa Eurocities Mira Network

?? A RENOVATION WAVE THAT LEAVES NO ONE BEHIND ?? CAN Europe and ECODES (Fundación Ecología y Desarrollo) have published a new report exploring the link ?? between the Social Climate Plans and the National Building Renovation Plans including: ??

Energy powers our communities, keeping our homes warm in winter and cool in summer. It fuels our hospitals, schools, and industries. But for millions, energy poverty is a harsh reality. Habitat for Humanity is tackling this issue with the ComActivate Project, funded by the EU’s LIFE Programme. We're working in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Lithuania to set up local centres, create energy plans, and train homeowner associations for energy-efficient renovations.

???? ???????????????? ???????????? ??????????????: ???????????????? ???????? ?????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???? On November 27th, the European Parliament held a pivotal plenary debate on "?????? ???????? ???? ???????????? ???????????? ?????? ???????????????? ???????????? ??????????????," addressing one of the most pressing challenges millions of Europeans face today. This timely discussion shed light on the urgent need for action at both national and EU levels, with a particular emphasis on the role of #buildings and their #renovation in tackling energy poverty. ?? During the debate, Commissioner Kadri Simson highlighted the importance of targeted support for vulnerable groups through the Social Climate Fund. ?? She noted that the fund would provide at least €86.7 billion to assist those most affected by the new emission trading system covering fuel combustion in buildings. ?? Similarly, MEP Vilija Blinkevi?iūte emphasised the complex nature of energy poverty, describing it as part of a broader poverty issue linked to ???????? ???????????????????? ??????????????????, low incomes, high energy prices, ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???? ??????????????????, and energy market speculation. She advocated for a common EU approach to address energy poverty, calling on the new Commission to propose a strategy that includes concrete measures to fight it. She also highlighted the need for action from the new Commissioner for Housing to ensure that all EU citizens have access to affordable, high-quality, and energy-efficient housing. ?? Accelerating the renovation rate is at Renovate Europe’s core and we cannot stress enough how by improving energy efficiency in buildings, we can reduce energy costs, enhance living conditions, and indeed fight energy poverty too. ?? ?? ?? We strongly echo the call for a comprehensive EU strategy that prioritises renovations and ensures every European has access to comfortable, energy-efficient homes. #RenovateEurope #AccelerateRenovation #PrioritisePeople

Commission’s JRC confirmed, that “there is a clear connection between high housing cost burdens and #energypoverty”! In 2023, 18.5% of EU households did not have sufficient insulation or heating systems to keep their dwelling comfortably warm during winter ?? This is a 9,5% increase compared to 2022! The EU must deliver on its twin goal to address climate change and reduce energy poverty. For this, we need to support building renovations to reach high energy efficiency, and to switch to clean heating solutions! The Clean Heat Europe coalition continues to fight for a #just #heattransition, to reduce energy poverty, and for #HeatRight for everyone! ?? We hope that the Commission’s Affordable Housing action plan will address this key aspect to ensure real and long-lasting affordability for all EU citizens! You can find our recommendations in the Clean Heat Gap report ???? https://lnkd.in/dccHUPeA?

?? This winter, millions of households throughout Europe will be faced with a difficult question every day: can they afford to heat their homes? Across Europe many still rely on fossil fuels for heating in poorly insulated homes. This is detrimental to their health and wallet as it becomes more and more expensive to keep their homes warm. At the same time, the use of polluting energy fuels create lasting health impacts. The transition to sustainable housing must ensure that everyone can live in healthy homes. The #BuildBetterLives campaign calls on the new Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan J?rgensen to put in motion an enabling framework that prioritises the provision of affordable, energy efficient homes for all. ?? #HealthyHomes #Housing #EPBD

Local energy communities (LEC) are revolutionising the way society produces and consumes energy. At EDP, we believe everyone should have access to clean, sustainable energy, which is why eradicating energy poverty is a priority for us. EDP New is participating in EU-funded R&D projects, such as ProLight Project and Eyes Hearts Hands ??????, which include the assessment of LEC establishment in economically vulnerable settings. This approach empowers both individuals and communities. Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and we invite you to join us in working together towards a fairer energy transition ??. #EDPWeChooseEarth #AllGreen2030 #LocalEnergyCommunities

Taking tangible action towards a Just #EnergyTransition! The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) launched the 'Urban Energy Access Toolkit' globally during the #ICLEIWorldCongress in S?o Paulo, Brazil. Now, we are excited to present this tool for US cities! Access the Toolkit: https://lnkd.in/d5Nd3Zry Developed in partnership with Arup and collaboration with the GCoM Data Technical Working Group's Energy Access and Poverty Subcommittee, this comprehensive toolkit enables local governments to: ? Define local energy access and poverty challenges ? Analyze systemic barriers to Energy Access and Poverty (EAP) interventions ? Identify pathways for action to address EAP. The Toolkit is designed primarily for local government staff, but its modules and resources can also benefit other stakeholders. It provides the resources to start conversations, share experiences, and catalyze a dynamic action roadmap for tackling energy access and energetic poverty.

Just completed an in-depth analysis of Canada's federal carbon rebate program. The study explored the impact of carbon pricing and the differences in rebates across Canadian provinces, providing insights into how this initiative helps offset carbon costs for households. It's great to be part of efforts that promote sustainability and social responsibility. Credit to CTV News for their detailed report on carbon pricing. Looking forward to contributing more to the conversation on climate action and community engagement. #CanadaServiceCorps #YouthInAction #YouthInCanada #YouCountCA #GLOCALFoundationofCanada
