 This view will change significantly in the coming years. Currently, the consequences of climate change stand out dramatically against the background of normal weather activity. ** These consequences not only concern the "community" but also each individual's scope of action.** If no decision is taken to counteract this, this scope of action will be narrowed drastically. This view will change significantly in the coming years.

-Climate change is mainly caused by CO2 emissions. And over one third of this is due to the energy consumption for heating buildings. Thermal insulation is therefore a very effective method of mitigating the effects of climate change and preserving our scope of action in the future. This benefits the whole community as well as the individual.\\+Climate change is mainly caused by CO<sub>2</sub> emissions.
