Interview Kelleher MEP on climate-neutral buildings

The European Parliament today (Tuesday 14 March) voted for new plans to make the EU’s building sector climate neutral by 2050. And it says all new buildings should have zero-emissions from 2028.  

MEPs were voting on the proposed revision of the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. It aims to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the EU building sector by 2030 with the aim of making it climate neutral by 2050.

MEPs say national renovation plans should include support schemes to facilitate access to grants and funding. And they want targeted grants and subsidies for energy-saving renovations for vulnerable households. Fianna Fail MEP Billy Kelleher spoke to EuroParlRadio’s Karen Coleman in the European Parliament in Strasbourg about today’s vote. Here’s that interview.
