🏡🥦 How can housing & food drive Europe’s fair sustainability transitions?
Join the EU Policy Dialogue Series on 6 Nov, EESC Brussels and Livestream.

Housing and Food: Communities and local-governments driving fair sustainability transitions - ECOLISE
Europe’s long-term wellbeing depends on fair and locally-driven sustainability transitions. Housing and food, our most basic human needs and the two largest household expenses, are powerful entry points for change. Yet, solutions to Europe’s housing and food challenges need to go beyond affordability to ensure sustainability and fairness amid mounting climate and geopolitical pressures.
