Outputs

The CA EPBD has collected a wealth of information useful to EPBD national policy experts and other stakeholders. The key public outputs of the CA EPBD are gathered below in the country and thematic outputs and in a dynamic database of publications, structured around countries/regions and themes. The contents in the database were last updated during CA EPBD V (2018 – 2022). Further information will be made available during CA EPBD 6 (2023 – 2027) to reflect recent developments.

Access the live version of the database here.

The Country category gives insights on the developments at the individual country/region level through:

  • 34 individual Country/Region Reports, as snapshots on the status of EPBD implementation developments at the individual country/region level at specific points in time
  • a compilation of all 34 Country/Region Reports available until 2017 under one single publication
  • Key Indicators & Decisions (KI&Ds) presenting relevant EPBD performance indicators or implementation decisions for certain regions or countries at specific points in time.

The various outputs of the Country category can be accessed and downloaded from the individual links in the table below. The most recent updates of 2020 are indicated in bold.

Concerted Action EPBD collaborates closely with Concerted Action for the Energy Efficiency Directive and the Concerted Action for the Renewable Energy Directive. There are strong synergies between the three directives as well as in the way the Concerted Actions are organised and there is therefore benefit from dialogue and joint events. 

Central team managers from the three Concerted Actions are regularly invited to speak at or attend each other's plenary meetings to share their experience and knowledge.

In 2020 and 2023 respectively, the three Concerted Actions held two joint in-depth workshops to facilitate cross learning on topics of common interest.

 

First CA Joint Workshop in Barcelona from 30th-31st January 2020

 

Second CA Joint Workshop in Madrid from 21st-22nd September 2023
