Slovak President and Patron of the fourth edition of the C4E Forum Zuzana Čaputová opened the C4E Forum, held in Slovakia for the very first time,
with a video message, in which she insisted that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has increased the sense of urgency for energy transition policies.
“In Slovakia, in the next few years, we will spend a huge amount of resources on rebuilding our economy and making it more resilient. The energy efficiency of our buildings is among our top priorities.”
“Supporting the Renovation Wave, which is compatible with the European Green Deal and Paris Climate Agreement, will help reduce energy bills. This could be a real gamechanger.”
The president is matching words with actions as her office aims to become net-zero by 2030, the first public body to do so in Slovakia and possibly the first presidential office in the world.
“This means clean mobility, zero waste, energy efficiency, renewables or planting thousands of trees to offset air travel.”
