Social Climate Plan

The implementation of the Social Climate Plan, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/955 on the Social Climate Fund, constitutes a key instrument to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the transition to a climate-neutral economy. The main objective of this fund is to support vulnerable households and microenterprises that are most affected by the costs associated with the extension of the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS 2).

The rise in fossil fuel prices can disproportionately impact vulnerable households and microenterprises, particularly those that spend a significant portion of their income on energy, lack access to alternative and affordable mobility and transport solutions, and may not have the financial means to invest in reducing their fossil fuel consumption.

To ensure the effectiveness, accessibility, and suitability of the measures integrated into the Social Climate Plan in addressing the specific needs of affected citizens and microenterprises, the Luxembourg government aims to refine its policies on climate and social justice. This initiative reflects a commitment to fostering a constructive dialogue with various stakeholders in order to gather diverse perspectives from the field.

In this context, the government invites the general public to share their experiences and contribute their expertise to the development of future measures.
