…and Level(s). - Adopt *common reporting templates* and approved tools for WLC assessments to ensure transparency and comparability. Read the full report here: Bravo to the authors of this report and the wider team behind #INDICATE!.

We’ve identified *12 key elements* that the COM must provide guidance on to ensure *reliability and comparability* of Member States results – notably, EU countries need guidance to ensure consistent implementation of existing environmental standards such as EN 15978, EN 15804….

Align WLC reduction with net-zero goals. 🌐 Recommendations for the European Commission:.- Ensure the 2027 Delegated Act provides clear guidance for consistent GWP measurement.

💡 Key recommendations for EU Member States:.- Start developing WLC methodologies now – there’s no time to waste!.Follow proven policy design frameworks from the frontrunning countries and INDICATE pilots. - Focus on *consistency* in WLC assessments, even with imperfect data.

- After two years of work in Czechia, Spain, and Ireland, we here show how these countries are developing WLC frameworks by learning from frontrunning countries. This is crucial for meeting 2028 regulations and setting effective reduction targets.

- The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (#EPBD) mandates life cycle Global Warming Potential (GWP) measurement by 2028. While time is short, the INDICATE team has identified a *workable policy framework* that can be adopted quickly and fast-track progress.

Get most valuable insights for WLC in Europe and lessons learned within the #INDICATE pilot with our partners in Ireland, Czechia, and Spain. Read the full report here: 🏛️ Policy background.
