All EU countries must establish a long-term renovation strategy (LTRS) to support the renovation of their national building stock into a highly energy efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050. C4E Forum brings us the great opportunity to share experiences with LTRS among EU countries mostly from CEE and Balkan region and within whole range of stakeholders like decision makers, academia, business, NGOs and politicians.

These strategies will form part of EU countries’ integrated national energy and climate plans (NECPs) and are an important input to the ‘renovation wave’ initiative announced as part of the European Green Deal. LTRS are precondition to effective usage of EU structural funds and other financing schemes.

The outcomes of the workshop contribute to prepare better LTRS in 2023, with focus on lessons learned, best practices and share the knowledge to Western Balkan countries where LTRS are only being prepared.
