Event Overview
Scheduled for June 30, 2026, this online event brings together key stakeholders from various sectors to discuss the intersection of energy efficiency and social policies in housing. Organized by IEECP, ESCI, ICONS, Housing Europe, CPMR, and ICLEI Europe, the session will feature panelists reacting to testimonials from individuals affected by housing inequalities.
Key Themes
Local and regional authorities are increasingly challenged by climate adaptation issues, including rising temperatures and housing affordability crises. Vulnerable groups, such as low-income tenants and marginalized communities, face disproportionate risks. The event will explore how integrated, socially-just housing policies can be designed to combat energy poverty while enhancing climate resilience.
Interactive Policy Exercise
A significant component of the session will be an interactive policy exercise that utilizes participatory foresight methods. Participants will engage with citizens' visions for affordable housing, assessing their feasibility and the implications for policy. This approach aims to strengthen the legitimacy and effectiveness of housing policies across Europe.
Agenda Highlights
The agenda includes scene-setting interventions, an interactive segment with experts, and a panel discussion focusing on governance gaps and policy enablers. Key takeaways will be shared to guide EU and local policymakers in their efforts to create equitable housing solutions.
