RHC ETIP Southern Europe Regional Roundtable: Let’s make the south of Europe heat the best!

Let’s make the south of Europe heat the best!: How to achieve 100% renewable heating and cooling in Southern European countries?
Join us for an enlightening event organized by the RHC-ETIP project, focusing on Southern European countries’ perspectives on achieving 100% renewable heating and cooling (RHC). This discussion will explore diverse viewpoints and strategies to overcome the unique challenges facing the region, while fostering collaboration and sharing best practices. By focusing on the Southern EU region’s specific climatic and social conditions, we aim to pave the way for a sustainable and resilient future for RHC in Europe.
