KEY MESSAGES:
Central and Eastern European countries have their own patterns of energy and transport vulnerabilities. Lower incomes than the EU average, a large building stock that is old and energy inefficient, and reliance on polluting fuels for heating are all common features across the region.
Conducting national analysis and understanding the local vulnerabilities are cornerstone for developing tailored Social Climate Plans.
The policy making process requires not only a good understanding of the national realities, but also institutional coordination and cooperation among various layers of governance.
