Country Sections
The Citizen-led renovation (CLR) Country Section Handbooks offer practical guidance for citizens interested in engaging in CLR activities within their respective countries. These handbooks provide an overview of the specific country contexts. They include the following content: current outlook; an overview of the building stock, its energy efficiency, and its renovation status; and the status of Citizen Energy Communities and Renewable Energy Communities. They offer a summary of specific progress and current trends, complemented by high-level case studies. This is followed by a summary of the challenges, opportunities, and next steps.

These sections guide the reader to legislative bodies and relevant laws concerning CLR, funding organisations and available funding, along with a range of useful tools such as One-Stop Shops and specific guides and roadmaps.
