However, the region is plagued by an inefficient, aging, unaffordable, polluting heating sector that is not compatible with a livable planet. This heating sector stands in the way of these countries achieving their net-zero emissions targets by mid-century and improving the quality of life for their citizens. This event will bring together a panel of experts and policymakers to exchange ideas on what could be done to accelerate the transformation of the heating sector of Europe, Central Asia and beyond. The panel will discuss the findings of a recently published report, "Toward a Framework for the Sustainable Heating Transition," which provides a comprehensive analysis of the state of space heating across Europe and Central Asia and offers a framework to help governments upgrade their heating services to be efficient, clean, and affordable. \n\nGo to event page: https://live.worldbank.org/events/sustainable-heating-transition-challenges-and-opportunities-europe-central-asia?intcid=ECR_CA_WBLCalendar_EN_EXT\n\nWe look forward to seeing you!\n\nWorld Bank Live - https://live.worldbank.org\nBringing you the Faces and Voices of Development Online Email address I agree with the terms of the Privacy Notice and consent to my personal data being processed to the extent necessary to receive these reminders.
