Webinar “Strengthening Technical assistance to deliver the renovation wave”
Webinar - EUASE (European Alliance To Save Energy).
Technical assistance plays a central role in removing the administrative, financial and other hurdles for ministries, cities, local authorities, businesses and households to renovate buildings.
Allocating dedicated resources to technical assistance would enable support for public authorities to map out their building stock, prepare long-term renovation strategies and develop and aggregate renovation proposals. In addition, these funds could be invested in education and training of workforce (upskilling and reskilling) as well as in information campaigns to increase citizens and businesses’ awareness about the multiple benefits of renovations in terms of cost-savings, comfort, improved living conditions and increased productivity.
Deploying technical assistance and building up administrative and logistical capacity is an enabler for ensuring that the benefits of a swift and green recovery are delivered and felt across countries, regions, cities and individual households. Alternatively, we risk jeopardising the Renovation Wave and Next
Generation EU’s economic and political capital and their multiple benefits for citizens and the clean energy transition.
