Citizens are more concerned than ever about their jobs, well-being and quality of life. Energy renovation stands at the intersection of the EU’s green priorities and growth objectives and is the linchpin of the EU’s recovery. Renovate Europe Day 2020 asked what lessons can be learnt from France, Italy and Ireland about prioritising energy renovation in the National Recovery Plans, and how the Renovation Wave can channel EU Recovery Funds into buildings to boost the rate and quality of energy renovation across the EU.
The conference was held online, with simultaneous interpretation in English, French and Italian throughout.
