The workshop aims at collecting experiences from European projects, initiatives and researches related to building renovation actions in cities, to start clustering a community of stakeholders for the BUILD UPON² project in Italy.

BUILD UPON² will help implement the EU’s goal of decarbonising it’s building stock by 2050, by strengthening the effectiveness and implementation of the long-term building renovation strategies required under the EPBD. 

Specifically, the Project will work with Covenant of Mayors signatory cities, national governments and a wide range of key stakeholders to develop and test a Multi-Level Renovation Impact Framework (the ‘Framework’), which can be integrated into the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans, undersigned within the Covenant of Mayors, enhancing coordination across local, regional and national authorities.

The workshop aims at sharing and disseminating projects and actions that cities are developing to reduce energy consumption and renovate the building stock, to face climate change, to manage resources and materials and to assess the related impacts.

The workshop is public and open to all SP19 attendees, the idea is to create a cluster of European projects, initiatives and researches that deal with the identified topic, and a cluster of Italian and European cities that will be interested in assessing economic, environmental and social impacts of initiatives at district and urban scale.
