Run-up to COP28: Insights from the efficient buildings sector

This webinar brought together leading companies, members of EuroACE (now Efficient Buildings Europe), and the Under2 Coalition and Subnational Governments to discuss what we expected and wanted COP28 to deliver on efficient buildings, upcoming actions at COP28, and links between EU policy and COP28 on energy efficiency in buildings.

The speakers covered different aspects on efficient buildings, such as the rising importance of cooling, digitalisation, buildings at the heart of the energy system, and decarbonisation.
