- Event 26 November 2019 Data insights to foster the uptake of energy efficiency technologies in EU residential buildings (Webinar) The ambitious strategy of turning EU countries into low carbon economies assumes reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below the level from 1990. This target can’t be achieved without significant changes in building energy use and installed HVAC equipment. Currently 75% of buildings in EU are energy inefficient and the actual rate of renovation is not sufficient to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation targets. One of the barriers of higher and faster distribution of low carbon…
- News 26 November 2019 Annual 7% decrease in emissions needed for next decade Global greenhouse gas emissions should fall over 7 per cent each year from 2020 to 2030 to get on track to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C and minimize climate disruption to lives, the planet and economies, the new Emissions Gap Report says today. The Emissions Gap Report, launched today, shows that collective ambition must increase more than fivefold over current levels to deliver the cuts, needed to hit the most-ambitious temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Each year, the UN Environment…
