A new GlobalABC roadmap proposes turning climate objectives for buildings into financeable projects by combining regulation, data, capacity and public and private capital.

District heating and cooling networks are advancing in Europe with more renewables, waste heat and electrification. The challenge now is to turn this progress into large-scale deployment through investment, planning and stable policies.

The Cool Heating Coalition argues that the next Multiannual Financial Framework should place the decarbonisation of heating and buildings at the heart of EU investment in order to strengthen competitiveness, energy security and social cohesion.

The climate transition is reshaping European public finances: declining fossil-fuel revenues, new carbon-related income streams and growing investment pressures will define fiscal sustainability up to 2050.

The European Commission proposes reforming the rules of the electricity market to contain network costs and accelerate electrification supported by flexibility, smart grids and digitalisation.

A joint statement urges full and effective transposition of the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive to ensure market confidence and support investment in the buildings sector.
