This year&#8217;s theme, <em>The Future of Housing in Europe: From Policy to Implementation<\/em>, looked at the enablers of change: the policies, tools and partnerships that can deliver more and better homes, with a special focus on renovating and reusing the buildings we already have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference was organised by COAC and the Architecture and Sustainability Association (AUS), in collaboration with the Council of Architects&#8217; Associations of Spain (CSCAE) and the Architects&#8217; Council of Europe (ACE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-one-crisis-not-two\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">One crisis, not two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening session brought together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sandra Bestraten<\/strong>, Dean of the Architects&#8217; Association of Catalonia (COAC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elena Guijarro<\/strong>, Treasurer and coordinator of the Sustainability Working Group of the Council of Architects&#8217; Associations of Spain (CSCAE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Daniel F\u00fcgenschuh<\/strong>, President of the Architects&#8217; Council of Europe (ACE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Greta Tresserra<\/strong>, Chair of the ACE Sustainable Architecture Work Group and President of the Architecture and Sustainability Association (AUS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACE President<strong> Daniel F\u00fcgenschuh<\/strong> made it clear that climate and housing are not two separate crises: they are one. The way we build drives the climate and biodiversity emergency, while too many Europeans still lack a decent, affordable home. <strong>&#8220;Europe has made climate a political priority. Housing now deserves the same ambition.&#8221;<\/strong> He stressed that architects are ready to lead this transformation, and set out three priorities for the European agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-three-priorities-for-europe\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three priorities for Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Transform, don&#8217;t demolish.<\/strong> Millions of vacant and inefficient buildings are waiting for a second life.
