Representatives of the Association EPEKA, a social enterprise, will participate in the discussion Community of Practice No. 2 – Cooling Our Cities.

Energy Cities is coordinating a new community of practice that addresses one of the major challenges facing cities: maintaining comfortable temperatures in urban areas. Due to the worsening climate crisis, demand for cooling solutions is growing, so urban areas must take immediate action to create a pleasant environment for everyone while gradually phasing out the use of fossil fuels.

This initiative offers city officials a platform to discuss, exchange ideas, and collaborate on effective cooling strategies, particularly for the built environment. This is an opportunity to share your experiences, learn from others, and become part of a growing network of cities working to cool their built environment.

The EPEKA Association, so.p. continues its activities within the project EPEKA – Housing Cooperative for All. The solution we are addressing in this project is tackling the housing issue through cooperative housing. Housing cooperatives already offer a suitable approach to resolving the housing crisis, as they exist in numerous cities and regions across Europe. These cooperatives come in various forms and sizes—some consist of just one building that is collectively owned by a group of people.
