Building decarbonisation and affordable housing: promoting local skills and accelerating the green deal

The Jacques Delors Institute is organising an event on Buildings Decarbonization and Affordable Housing on the afternoon of May 12^th in Brussels (Cardo Hotel), in the context of an ECF-founded report that was recently published.

This report aims to identify the skills that local governments need the most. It first assesses the main challenges that local governments need to address in their building policies, then it identifies specific hurdles and difficulties they are facing, and that require the acquisition of new skills, before identifying these. It concludes with a set of policy recommendations.
