During the EU Regions Week, Renovate Europe co-organised this workshop together with DG GROW, the JRC and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Policymakers from different levels of governance looked at some of the solutions at hand to improve the implementation of the Renovation Wave: financing instruments to accelerate renovation, technical assistance for practical support, affordability considerations to ensure no one is left behind, and innovative techniques that effectively integrate energy efficiency with climate resilience.
