The Citizen-led Renovation initiative is hosting four dynamic sessions in December, bringing together experts, policymakers & practitioners to accelerate Europe’s renovation wave. These events will explore synergies, inclusivity, policy alignment & local impact strategies to make building renovation more effective and equitable.
Why you should attend
Participants will gain firsthand insight from leading EU-level renovation projects and policy experts. The webinars offer a unique chance to discover practical, inclusive solutions and network with other stakeholders committed to advancing the energy transition. Whether you’re working in local government, a community group, an energy collective or simply interested in sustainable renovation, this series will provide valuable perspectives and tools.

What this means for European communities
By bringing together diverse actors, the Renovation Dialogue series aims to deepen collaboration across the board, from policymakers and project implementers to citizens and communities. This reflects the broader ambition of the renovation wave: to treat renovation not just as a technical upgrade but as a social transformation, one that improves living conditions, reduces energy poverty and strengthens community bonds. In doing so, it paves the way toward more sustainable and more equitable housing across Europe.
Moreover, the focus on inclusive renovation and local alliances highlights a shift in how renovation is conceived: away from isolated building-by-building interventions and towards integrated, community-based strategies where social cohesion, affordability and long-term sustainability go hand in hand.
