Sam Kimmins, director of energy, Climate Group tells Jordan Marshall what is needed in order to double renovation rates in the UK and Europe

Slashing carbon emissions in Europe requires an ambitious renovation revolution that transforms the buildings we live, work and learn in. That is the conclusion of Climate Group’s new handbook, published in collaboration with major corporates Carrier, CBRE, Danfoss, Rockwool, Siemens, Signify and Velux.

The handbook lays out the essential steps to increasing collaboration between governments, businesses and financial institutions, in order to drive up annual renovation rates in European buildings – delivering on the EU’s ambitious climate goals and the COP28 energy efficiency pledge.
