 Heatwaves hurt the poor most: time for an EU plan

Yamina SAHEB

Recurring heatwaves across Europe have been most devastating for the poor. New EU institutions have a mandate to make Europe’s energy transition a just one, but this can only be done if a European Marshall plan is implemented to fight climate change and protect the vulnerable.

 Energy-efficient buildings: Why MEPs should ban the staged renovation approach

Yamina SAHEB

The final compromise EPBD text on which the Parliament will vote tomorrow (17 April) includes a requirement for member states to establish long-term renovation strategies.

Introducing the concept of “decarbonised building stock” in the EPBD is a major step towards the implementation of more integrated efficiency and renewable solutions when buildings are renovated.

 2030 Energy Package: Ensuring the Right to Energy for all Europeans

 Eliminating Energy Poverty Across Europe: Monitoring Progress for an Inclusive Energy Union

Despite falling wholesale prices for gas and electricity, consumer costs have gradually increased. When combined with poor energy efficiency in many buildings and a squeeze in living standards, Europe’s citizenry has been left in the dark.
