ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN

Build Better Lives aims to ensure decent, affordable and energy efficient homes and buildings for all. It brings together over 90 social justice, housing, climate, and youth civil society organisations, in a pan-European, people-oriented campaign for a socially just built environment that lifts millions out of energy poverty.

We work to influence both national and EU level policies and processes related to building decarbonisation focusing on affordability, sustainability, and social justice.

Better buildings build better lives through creating safer, healthier and more comfortable environments where many of us work, play and live. More energy efficient buildings reduces our energy consumption, which lowers our energy bills along with greenhouse gas emissions.

This all starts with policy and political will. Governments need to implement EU and national legislations around building renovation and heating decarbonisation in a manner that is inclusive and will deliver benefits for all.
