As European countries reel from the global pandemic and the world seeks to more aggressively slow the impact of climate change, some Eastern and Central European countries seek to tackle these dual issues through one cross-cutting intervention: Housing.
Specifically, some countries are developing policies to invest in green, resilient housing. Organized by the Way Forward Coalition, Arthur Acolin* of the University of Washington facilitates a dynamic discussion around how investments to retrofit green / resilient housing solutions can simultaneously support economic recovery and growth following the COVID-19 pandemic.
