*[Enwl-eng] 70% of our buildings are energy inefficient

[ENWL]

      Insulating our homes can do a lot to tackle climate change and our 
energy bills. While the European Commission is on board, many EU countries 
are dragging their feet - but the gas price crisis changes everything. EU 
environment ministers are having an emergency meeting tomorrow. Sign to make 
them take action!

Hi,

Images of floods and fires destroying houses and taking lives in the past 
few months are still fresh in our minds. Climate change is behind these 
meteorological extremes.

Making homes more energy efficient is amongst the most effective ways to 
stop climate change. Over a third of global emissions are caused by 
buildings.

Keeping our homes warm, or cool, uses a lot of energy. Without proper 
insulation loads of energy is wasted. Considering 70% of European buildings 
are energy inefficient, this is a big problem. We need a home renovation 
revolution, now.

Our governments need to see the link between energy efficient homes, 
independence from fossil fuels and an end to floods-and-fires-inducing 
climate change. That’s precisely what the European Commission is proposing, 
but EU governments are playing deaf, because they have other priorities.

But the energy price crisis is forcing them to pay attention. Ministers for 
the environment from all over the EU will gather tomorrow. Our community of 
hundreds of thousands of people has the power to make enough noise to have 
them listen to our message: we want an ambitious home renovation revolution, 
one that prioritises people in need. Are you in?
