Canada-EU exchange – Achieving energy efficiency in buildings and housings
Both Canada and the European Union have committed themselves to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. A commitment reaffirmed during a meeting between the EU Commission and Natural Resources Canada in March 2020. Indeed, both parties are dedicated to promoting energy-efficient solutions, tackling climate change, and respecting the Paris Agreement. Therefore, they are more than willing to continue engaging in the exchange of best practices, especially regarding governance and policymaking.
In this new dialogue series hosted by the Building Performance Institute Europe, solutions on promoting sustainable renovations in the building and housing sector will be dissected and discussed. Officials from both Canada and the European Union will present and share solutions for achieving renovation and energy efficiency in the housing and building sector.
