The World Green Building Council Europe network and partners launched a new report ‘Creating an Energy Efficient Mortgage for Europe: the supporting role of the green building sector.’
The report argues that the finance and the green building sector must work together more closely to ensure that energy efficient mortgages will be made available to every borrower in Europe.
A pilot scheme has already seen 46 major banks signed up to develop new green lending products. City and regional governments including the Scottish government have also committed to support the initiative.
