What is a ‘Just Transition’ and what should be the key priorities for Europe to ensure this transition takes place?

BPIE connected with Andrea Casamenti, Policy officer for Just Transition at SOLIDAR, a European and worldwide network of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). The aim of the discussion was to dig into the concept of ‘Just Transition’, a concept that is linked to energy transition and climate cirsis. In this interview, SOLIDAR not only suggests how to define a ‘Just Tranistion’ but what the key priorities should be to ensure this transition takes place.

EU Buildings Climate Tracker: Urgency to close the buildings decarbonisation gap

The newly developed EU Buildings Climate Tracker finds that the EU is facing a growing gap in advancing towards climate neutrality in the sector. This first edition provides evidence for the urgent need for additional action that should be reflected in a transformational outcome of legislative discussions on the EPBD.

Thinking Ahead for Buildings, Climate and People – BPIE Biennial report 2020 – 2021

Our mission is to make an affordable, carbon-neutral built environment a reality in Europe and globally. We invite you to learn more about BPIE, how we are financing our work, and the impact our work has had on the policymaking process with this biennial report, covering 2020-2021.

Industrial prefabrication solutions for building renovation

This report outlines the technological and process innovations needed to facilitate the uptake of industrial prefabrication solutions in renovation throughout Europe to meet climate goals, reduce energy demand and contribute to future-proofing the building stock.

Bausteine einer Lebenszyklus- perspektive für mehr Klimaschutz und Ressourcenschonung im Gebäudesektor

This report provides a compilation of strategies, laws, initiatives and examples of good practice for a life-cycle perspective on the building sector. It demonstrates that sustainable construction and the decarbonisation of the building sector have developed a noticeable dynamic in Germany in recent years – but that binding rules are still largely lacking.
