How to unlock the Renovation Wave

The Renovate Europe Campaign and Positive Money Europe co-organised this webinar for the launch of the Unlock campaign.

The recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive proposes comprehensive measures to accelerate the renovation of residential buildings, but financing the Renovation Wave remains a complex challenge: the Commission expects a funding gap of around €275 billion per year by 2030, and ECB research estimates that around €214 billion a year should be covered by bank loans. What role can the banking sector play, and how can the European Central Bank unlock affordable green loans and mortgages?

Adrian Joyce (Renovate Europe), Peter Sweatman (Climate Strategy) and Uuriintuya Batsaikhan (Positive Money Europe) presented, followed by a discussion with Seán Kelly MEP, Karlis Goldstein (European Commission) and Jennifer Johnson (European Mortgage Federation).

Efficient Buildings Europe is a partner of the Renovate Europe Campaign.
