Review: Future of Fair Finance Mannheim 2021
“Financing Affordable Housing and Climate Protection”
In Germany, the building sector will exceed its annual emission level according to the Climate Protection Act in 2020, as current figures from the Federal Environment Agency show. Especially in residential buildings, CO2 emissions have even increased.
This year’s Future of Fair Finance event therefore looked at how innovative financing models in Europe can be used to promote climate protection in residential buildings, while at the same time keeping housing affordable!
As the Future of Fair Finance on 25 May was a side event of the European Social Economy Summit, it could be followed through simultaneous interpretation in German and English.
