CAN Europe welcomes the efforts of the European Union in addressing the current housing crisis by launching an European Affordable Housing Plan.
First and foremost, it is important to highlight that the topic involves various dimensions, combining economic, social, energy, environmental considerations and more. For this submission, and in line with CAN Europe’s work, we will majorly focus on the role that energy performance of buildings in the European Union has in alleviating the current housing crisis.
Decarbonising our homes, if done in a socially just and climate ambitious way, can in fact positively impact the affordability level of housing costs, promote social inclusion, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and spur inclusive and innovative urban planning approaches.
