Energy policy

• What is the EEB doing?
• The Draft revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

The EEB strongly believes that EU energy policy for the next 40 years should contribute to the global objective of reducing the rise in global temperature to 2°C at most.

This means an 80% reduction in annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared with 1990 levels.

Although the EU has increased the efficiency of using energy and resources in production and consumption no net savings have been achieved.
