Climate adaptation is no longer optional but a critical process to strengthen resilience, protect communities, and enhance economic competitiveness and security in an increasingly changing climate. But how do we ensure coordination across national, regional, and local levels?

💡That’s where National Adaptation Hubs (NAHs) come in.

Established through the project, with FEDARENE actively involved, this initiative lays the groundwork for stronger multi-level governance coordination on climate action.

“To be energy secure, we must be energy efficient.”

As Europe navigates a new energy crisis, FEDARENE and its members are calling for one clear priority: keep energy efficiency at the heart of EU policy.

Why? Because it works:
✔️ Lower energy bills
✔️ Stronger businesses
✔️ Less reliance on imported energy

And without strong, binding targets, the investments Europe needs—like building renovation and industrial modernisation—are at risk.

📢 Europe’s energy experts are urging EU decision-makers to stay the course.
