In Devon, residents face a cost-of-living crisis and rising fuel poverty, with limited engagement in energy-efficient home improvements. Social Engine collaborated with six councils to understand residents' attitudes and behaviours towards retrofitting using behavioural insights. A trial delivered through social media ads directed people to information on loft insulation, testing two approaches with varying messages. The trial reached 205,324 people and showed that roof imagery and social norm messaging were most effective at encouraging people to read further information on loft insulation. Lessons learned highlighted the need for tailored communication strategies and evidence-based action plans to encourage energy saving actions, equipping councils with the confidence to apply these findings going forward.

Having witnessed decades of corrupt management, poorly maintained public spaces, and high pollution levels, it is perhaps no surprise that the residents of Sofia are politically disillusioned. However, this does not mean that they are disengaged: members of Bulgaria’s “transition generation” are taking matters into their own hands with innovative urban projects centred around ecology.

With the housing crisis ongoing, conservative politicians have recommended reducing environmental regulations to accelerate home construction. While doing so may affect prices in the short term, it will have a significant long-term cost—both financially and for the climate

Dans l’édition de cette année, nous avons évalué les indicateurs de manière rétrospective - sur dix ans dans le cas de la rénovation et cinq pour la mobilité électrique-, afin d’identifier les facteurs qui ont amélioré – ou détérioré - l’accessibilité économique des solutions de transition sur les dernières années. Nous présentons ces indicateurs pour deux ménages types : la famille Deschamps et la famille Villeneuve, toutes deux dans les classes moyennes, propriétaires de leur logement et dépendantes de la voiture au quotidien sur qui repose la question de l'accessibilité de la transition.

Europe is warming up faster than any other continent and the most vulnerable people are bearing the brunt of climate impacts. A new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA), published today, shows that although the most vulnerable groups are disproportionately affected, they are often overlooked in climate adaptation planning and especially implementation.

Sadiq Khan has said he will pedestrianise Oxford Street “as quickly as possible”, after two in three respondents to a public consultation backed plans to ban traffic from London’s central shopping area.
The mayor’s office said there was “overwhelming public and business support” for the proposals to regenerate the street, whose lustre is slowly returning as department stores muscle back among the sweet and souvenir shops of dubious repute.

Central and Eastern Europe needs to upgrade its building stock to plug leaks and reduce energy consumption. Some of the challenges the region faces are similar to those in other countries, some are more specific.
Rules and regulations are slowly but surely being adopted in this part of the world, funding streams are coming online and renovation support schemes are being designed.

Cette étude révèle un fort attachement des Français aux enjeux écologiques, quel que soit leur lieu de vie. Des majorités claires se dégagent en faveur de politiques environnementales ambitieuses. Toutefois, ce consensus de principe se heurte à de fortes disparités territoriales dès lors qu’il s’agit de leur mise en oeuvre concrète. Dans les zones rurales et les petites villes, les politiques écologiques sont souvent perçues comme injustes, inadaptées ou trop coûteuses individuellement. À l’inverse, les grandes métropoles, mieux équipées et accompagnées, affichent une adhésion plus marquée, y compris lorsqu’un effort personnel est requis.

Local power, owned and run by communities, can be the key to solving Wales’ future energy needs, says the Future Generations Commissioner.
Welsh Government needs to be more ambitious, so Wales has more solar, wind and water energy sources owned by and earning money for, local people, said Derek Walker.
Mr Walker, whose role is to challenge government on how they’re improving lives for people born in the future, wants to see more schools, health centres and community buildings in Wales powered by renewable energy, where communities earn and save money from the energy themselves.

The Polish energy transition is extremely crucial to the European climate ambitions because we need to prove that we can do it within our own borders, in our own house, so to speak, in order to have any legitimacy for when we talk about what other countries should aim for.
