ECODES fully supports the revision of this directive, as outlined in option 3, to deliver on the Renovation Wave and drastically reduce Europe’s carbon emissions. Renovations can provide extensive co-benefits for tackling climate change, alleviating energy poverty and creating green, local jobs if enabled by a strong financial and legislative framework.

From ECODES (Foundation for Ecology and Development), we would like to thank the European Commission for the opportunity to participate in the evaluation and review process of the Energy Efficiency Directive, seeking to achieve an ambitious document in order to achieve at least the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. Please find attached the document containing comments to try to achieve these objectives.

Ecodes welcomes the European Commission's proposal to revise the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), underlining the effort to align it with the environmental principles included in the Eco-design Regulation for Sustainable Products (ESPR). However, the current proposal is not aligned with the Paris Agreement, mainly in treating embodied emissions inherent in construction materials.

The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) must remain the central legislative pillar guiding EU renewable development beyond 2030, ensuring climate neutrality by 2050. 1. Reinforce binding targets Set ambitious, binding renewable energy targets for 20302040 aligned with climate objectives, including sectoral subtargets for transport, industry, heating, and cooling, and ensure national plans align with EU targets. 2.

We consider that the proposed target for 2040 falls short of a fair and science-aligned contribution, compared to the recommendations of the Commission’s own Impact Assessment and ESABCC, which point to a net household target of 90-95 %. It also reflects the demand of civil society for more ambitious targets, capable of generating greater benefits and responding to equity principles.

The F-Gas Regulation is a landmark piece of European Union (EU) climate legislation for transitioning away from fluorinated gases such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). However, from ECODES, we consider that in the years since its adoption, it has become clear it requires significant improvements to safeguard our climate system by: accelerating the HFC phase-down schedule, in particular by…

We welcome the European Commissions aim to remove unnecessary administrative barriers that increase costs and delays in housing construction and renovation. We support simplification where it improves the efficiency, predictability and coordination of existing procedures, including through digitalisation, better data, one-stop shops, standardised processes, clear deadlines and stronger administrative capacity.
