The EU Buildings Climate Tracker, developed this year by BPIE (Buildings Performance Institute Europe), serves as a high-level index showcasing the progress of the EU building stock towards full decarbonisation by 2050 on a scale of 0 – 100, and will be updated on an annual basis.

In view of the Parliament’s ongoing discussions on the draft report by MEP Ciaran Cuffe (Greens, Ireland), and the October Energy Council held by the Czech Council Presidency, the Tracker’s results should serve as a strong wakeup call for all policymakers to unite on the most ambitious policy options within the Buildings Directive.

This event will be an ideal opportunity to discover the EU Buildings Climate Tracker and its results, to inform and to contextualise forthcoming EPBD discussions within the respective EU institutions. The panel discussion is meant to provide ample opportunity for participants to post their questions to experts.
