The REDay2021 high-level conference took place online, where we launched the Renovate Europe / E3G study #Renovate2Recover, assessing the transformational impact of 18 National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) for buildings, heard from ministry representatives about the key aspects of their countries’ plans, and discussed with MEPs what needs to happen in the next decade to boost building renovation.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the Renovate Europe Campaign, we also held a social event in Brussels on the same day, together with friends and colleagues.
