This will help to reduce Europeans' energy bills and achieve the European Union's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
In the EU, heating, cooling and domestic hot water account for 80% of the energy that households consume. Buildings account for 40% of all energy consumed and 36% of energy-related direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions.

- Description
- Buying food is increasingly more expensive, with the current energy crisis and the war in Ukraine contributing to the inflationary pressure.
According to the latest Eurobarometer survey, the rising cost of living is the most pressing worry for 93% of Europeans, followed by the threat of poverty and social exclusion (82%).
As people expect the EU to act, Parliament members will question Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski about what the Union is doing to tackle food price inflation.
