L’atelier de consultation nationale a porté sur la relation entre le projet de traité transatlantique TTIP (ou encore PTCI/TAFTA) et la protection de l’environnement.
L’atelier fait partie du projet de recherche commissionné par la Commission européenne, DG Environnement, qui vise à initier un débat public sur la protection environnementale, y compris la dimension énergie/climat, dans le contexte du Partenariat transatlantique de commerce et d’investissement (TTIP).
Représentation de la Commission européenne en France (Paris)
The Royal Institute for International Relations and the Development Group co-organised the 2nd Symposium of the 2016 series of events dedicated to the European Energy Transition. A variegated audience attended the event, coming from the European Commission and the European Parliament.
Les copropriétés représentent un gisement conséquent de logements à rénover avec comme principale difficulté la complexité des processus décisionnelles en raison notamment du mode de gouvernance.
Un large éventail d’acteurs est impliqué. Des synergies se développent pour favoriser des approches globales au sein de ce marché en pleine évolution.
Les enjeux pointés sont réglementaires, techniques, financiers sans oublier les aspects liés à la communication. Plusieurs méthodes et outils (y compris numériques) se déploient pour favoriser le passage à l’acte.
It was impossible to imagine a year ago. It’s hard to believe today, but the world might well move on the post-Paris Climate Agreement without Europe!
For once, the European Commission cannot be blamed for this “ridiculous” situation as President Juncker described the slow ratification by the EU of the climate deal. It could even be the opposite: we may well have to applaud the European Commission if its proposed fast-track ratification succeeds in giving EU leaders a seat at the table of the post-Paris climate decisions.
“BRINGING THE BUILDINGS SECTOR TOGETHER TO DELIVER A RENOVATION REVOLUTION”
In April, countries around the world signed the historic Paris Agreement reached at COP 21. Europe must now raise its ambition, and one of the greatest environmental and societal challenges we collectively face is the renovation of Europe’s buildings.
Delivering the ambitious climate change targets of the Paris Agreement can only be achieved through the effective combination of energy efficiency and renewable energy. Together, they offer the best opportunity to quickly and cost-effectively move towards a decarbonised energy system. It is important that both are delivered through integrated policies and measures in a holistic manner.

Executive summary in national languages
The report estimates the EU energy renovation market at EUR 109 billion in 2015 and 882,900 jobs. It shows that the size of the EU energy renovation market could increase by almost half the current energy renovation market if a 40% energy savings target is adopted for 2030. This would lead to more than one million additional jobs.
On my way back to Paris, I had to go through one of the most heavily guarded airports in the world. Unfortunately for last Thursday’s passengers, the scanner wasn’t very cooperative, and we ended up going through it again and again – without any shoes, belt, jackets or any potentially harmful garment of the sort of course. Once partially cleared by the defective scanner, we were all offered a complimentary and thorough body search before finally boarding our flight.
