End of April, CPEA Secretary General Ursula Hartenberger participated in a podium during the Berliner Energietage:
And who is going to pay for that? Strategies and instruments and new ways of financing buildings on the way to climate neutrality.
In the face of the climate crisis, the transformation of the building sector towards climate neutrality is necessary. Portfolio owners, project developers and investors are starting to plan the decarbonisation of their plants and projects. Targeted strategies for overall portfolios and manageable instruments such as the “building-specific climate protection roadmap” are essential for implementation. But how do you finance it? Taking into account new developments in the “Sustainable Finance” area, the most recent experiences of the first real applications of the proposed “EU Taxonomy Criteria” and the perspective of the private sector, possible strategies and instruments for recording and managing climate protection activities were presented, along with opportunities, requirements and Possibilities of climate protection-oriented financing discussed.
