The European Green Deal aims to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient economy, ensuring no greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, decoupling economic growth from resource use, and ensuring no place is left behind. The European Commission has adopted proposals to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, aiming to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy, ensuring no net emissions by 2050 and decoupling economic growth from resource use. One-third of the €1.8 trillion investments from the NextGenerationEU Recovery Plan and the EU’s seven-year budget will finance the European Green Deal.
Davos Declaration
In 2018, the European Ministers of Culture adopted the Davos Declaration "Towards a high-quality Baukultur for Europe," promoting the concept of high-quality Baukultur in Europe.

Besides, anotHERVIEWture arranges anotHERVIEWture AWARD every second year. The anotHERVIEWture AWARD introduces women and their work to you and a broader public in order to raise awareness of the female contribution in the building industry and engineering, highlight role models, and transform this field of profession towards equality and diversity.
NEBULA
The NEBULA project, based on the Built4People (B4P) partnership, aims to create a network of B4P Innovation Clusters (B4PIC) to promote a People-centric sustainable built environment. The NEBULA project will provide support activities to improve the visibility, adoption, and uptake of innovative solutions aligned with the New European Bauhaus. The B4PICs will foster cross-sectoral peer learning and cross-border cooperation. The project addresses five dimensions for successful EU-scale, multidisciplinary, and sustainable innovation in the Built Environment: whole value chain, cross-sectoral, locally anchored, cross-border, and access to testbeds and demo spaces.
