EiD has come across two excellent videos for EiD readers.

The first is by Peter Sweatman for Eurima, the European Insulation Manufacturers, on Financing Mechanisms for Europe’s Buildings Renovations.  This is an excellent argument for an ambitious energy efficiency directive and the need for incentives for building refurbishment.

The second is by the UNFCCC Executive Director, Christiana Figueres, on the implications of Durban, the Climate Conference in December 2011.  Ms. Figueres gave the “Barbara Ward Lecture” at the International Institute for Environment and Development.  In her “Barbara Ward lecture,” Figueres underscored the urgent need for sustainability transformation, noting that “a critical component of that is the energy revolution that needs to both address emissions and power the world’s move into a sustainable future.” She underlined the growing momentum for both sustainability and an energy revolution, as illustrated by emerging policies and growing investment trends.
