Social Climate Fund: a survey to improve collaborations!

European networks are conducting a survey to assess current planning and identify gaps to improve the Fund implementation.

project call

To counteract additional burdens that may derive from the implementation of the new Emissions Trading Scheme (also known as ETS II), the EU has introduced a Social Climate Fund which will enter into force in 2026. The Fund is expected to provide €86 billion over the 2026-2032 period (€65 billion fixed from auctioning of allowances, plus at least 25% of Member States' own contributions from ETS II auction revenues).

The scope and content of this legislation requires national governments to closely collaborate with their regional and local governments to identify the most vulnerable groups and support them through best measures and investments. 

To identify the situation in different Member States, European local and regional government networks (ACR+, CEMR, Climate Alliance, EnergyCities, Eurocities, Fedarene, ICLEI Europe and POLIS) have prepared this survey. It aims to get a snapshot of the current planning situation and to work towards a publication to highlight the gaps and recommendations with an objective to provide recommendations and improve the collaboration regarding the planning and delivery of the Social Climate Funds.

Based on this survey, a joint briefing will be shared with EU Decision makers in autumn 2024.
