Spring is here and it’s time to turn off the heating to reduce the energy use in our homes and buildings. This is even more important now that the war in Ukraine has exposed the dangers of our dependency on imported fossil fuels, which play a key role in accelerating climate change.

In this month’s issue, we:

• look at steps you can take to reduce the energy use in your home, both right now and in the long term;
• meet the EU Climate Pact Ambassador who is greening a Croatian tourist hotspot;
• invite you to a debate on sustainable consumption with Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, and EU Climate Pact Ambassadors.
