Action Plan for energy-efficient housing in the UNECE region

This Action Plan provides a framework for the member States of the region to raise energy efficiency in the housing sector and thus enables them to address environmental and economic challenges and meet social needs. The Action Plan lists a range of measures aimed at removing barriers to energy efficiency and progressively moving towards a low-energy and ultimately zero energy and carbon neutral housing sector.

The Action Plan outlines three policy areas for action:

1)  Policy area I: energy efficiency governance and financial infrastructure.
2)  Policy area II: energy performance standards and technology integration. 
3)  Policy area III: access to energy efficiency and public housing.
