🫁 Investing in clean heating is a public health investment On Monday, we brought public health, climate & energy communities together for "Clean Heat, Cleaner Air: connecting ETS2 and public health". The message was: clean heating is about climate, health, affordability and energy independence. 🧵

This morning, the European Parliament debates this summer's heatwaves. Cooling isn't a luxury: 20% of Europeans struggle to stay cool, annual heat deaths have risen to tens of thousands. We need a Cooling & Heating Action Plan to support adequate, sustainable, and efficient cooling.

Home decarbonisation needs to move faster. Europe needs a clear policy that bundles all these fossil-free solutions for homes together. Not fragmented measures, not piecemeal fixes, but a proper package that makes home electrification simple. We call them “Independence kits” 🏡⚡️💪

Simple, ready-to-install technology kits could cut bills and end fossil dependence. Davide Sabbadin explains why this is exactly the kind of household-oriented policy the EU needs during crisis times.

🚨Breaking*: European response to crisis in Iran: targets for energy efficiency (-10%), for electrification (35% by middle of next decade, up from 25% today) and for import dependency (40%, down from ~60% today). Details on national implementation to follow! *Message seen: 53 years ago 🫠 #EUSky 🔌💡⚡
Screenshot of an archival document clearly written with an old typewriter. A truncated watermark says "of the European Commission". The title reads "A Summary of the objectives of an Energy Supply Policy for the Community in 1985". Below:

I. Energy Demand
To reduce estimated consumption in 1985 by 10% in relation to the amount initially estimated for 1985 by the more efficient use of energy.

In step with the development of nuclear energy, to increase the consumption of electricity, which should in 1985 represent 35% of energy consumption (25% in 1972).

II. Energy Supply
To limit to 40% (63% in 1973) in 1985 the degree of Community dependence for energy on outside sources.

To limit to 40% (60% in 1973) the share of oil in the overall energy supply.

To limit to 75% (98% in 1973) the degree of dependence on outside sources for oil supplies. This implies production of 180 mtoe in the Community.

To shift the emphasis of demand as a result, in particular by reducing consumption of heavy fuel oil in power stations.
