(8) Those amendments have differing economic and social impacts on the different sectors of the economy, on the citizens, and the Member States. In particular, the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and the Council31There should providbe an additional economic incentive to invest into the reduction of fossil fuel consumption and thereby accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Combined with otherdirect measures, this should, in the medium to long term, reduce the costs for buildings and road transport, and provide new opportunities for job creation and investment. _________________ 31 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32)sustainable, efficient and affordable housing, as well for a zero- emission mobility, eradicate energy and mobility poverty and provide new opportunities for job creation and investment.

(10) The increase and global fluctuations in the price for fossil fuels may disproportionally affects vulnerable households, vulnerable micro- enterprises and vulnerable transport users who spend a larger part of their incomes on energy and transport, who, in certain regions, do not have access to alternative, affordable mobility and transport solutions and who may lack the financial capacity to invest into the reduction of fossil fuel consumption. Ambitious climate action and a faster transition to a 100% renewables based and highly energy efficient system would allow the Union to reduce its more than 60 % dependency rate on fossil fuel imports1a and thus protect EU citizens from skyrocketing fossil energy prices. _________________ 1a Eurostat 2021: EU energy dependency rate in 2019: 60.7%

(12) This is even more relevant in view of the existing levels of energy poverty. Energy poverty is a situation in which households are unable to access essential energy services such as cooling, as temperatures rise, and heating. About 34 million Europeans reported an inability to keep their homes adequately warm in 2018, and 6.9% of the Union population have said that they cannot afford to heat their home sufficiently in a 2019 EU-wide survey32 . Overall, the Energy Poverty Observatory estimates that more than 50 million households in the European Union experience energy poverty. Energy poverty is therefore a major challenge for the Union. Energy poverty is often caused by a combination of factors, including low household income, unequal access to quality and affordable services, poor energy efficiency of buildings and high energy prices. While social tariffs or direct income supportsubsidies for energy bills can provide immediate relief to households facing energy poverty, only targeted structural measures, in particular energy renovations, can provide lasting solutionsthey are not a real solution to lift households out of energy poverty Only targeted structural measures and investments aimed at ending the reliance on fossil fuels, in particular deep building renovations, the development of energy communities and renewable energy sources, including through community-lead projects, as well as information and awareness-raising measures targeted at the households, can provide lasting solutions and effectively combat energy poverty. _________________ 32 Data from 2018.

(12 b) The Union and its Member States will not be able to meet their climate and environmental objectives without properly addressing energy and mobility poverty. Yet there is currently no standard Union- level definitions of energy and mobility poverty across the Union, and only one third of Member States have adopted a national definition of energy poverty. As a result, no transparent and comparable data on energy and mobility poverty in the Union is currently available, hindering the possibility to effectively monitor progress at national level to eradicate energy and mobility poverty.

(13) A Social Climate Fund (‘the Fund’) should therefore be established to provide funds to the Member States to support their policies to address the social impacts of the emissions trading for buildings and road transport on vulnerable households, vulnerable micro-enterprises and vulnerable transport usersaddress the social impacts of energy and mobility poverty, by targeted actions contributing to meet the Union climate and environmental objectives at the same time. This should be achieved notably through temporary income support andadaptive measures and investments with lasting impact intended to reduce reliance on fossil fuels through increased energy efficiency of buildings, decarbonisation of heating and cooling of buildings, including the integration of energy from renewable soin particular for those living in the worst performing buildings and in social housing, increased access to renewable energy for heating and cooling, as well as measurces, and granting improved access to zero- and low-emission sustainable mobility and public transport to the benefit of vulnerable households, vulnerable micro-enterp, in particular for those living in rural, insular and less accessible areas and in the less developed regions and territorises and vulnerable transport user, including less developed peri-urban areas.

(14) For that purpose, each Member State should submit to the Commission a Social Climate Plan (‘the Plan’). Those Plans should pursue two objectives. Firstly, they should provide vulnerable households, vulnerable micro-enterprises and vulnerable transport users the necessary resources to finance and carry out investments in energy efficiency, decarbonisation of heating and cooling, in zero- and low-emission vehiclesidentify and map households in situation of energy and mobility poverty, and provide a detailed analysis, conducted together with the local and regional authorities, social partners and civil society, on the main causes of energy and mobility poverty in their respective territories. The Plans should also set targets for the progressive and effective eradication of energy and mobility poverty. Secondly, they should mitigate the impact of the increase in the cost of fossil fuels on the most vulnerable and thereby prevent energy and transpprovide households in energy poverty and people facing mobility poverty the necessary resources to finance and carry out investments in the deep renovation of buildings, in particular worst poverty during the transitioerforming buildings and social housing, in poweriod until such investments have been implementedng any residual demand for heating and cooling with renewable energy, and in zero-emission mobility. The Plans should mainly have an investment component promoting the long-term solutions of reducephasing out fossil fuels reliance and could envisage other measures, including temporary direct income support to mitigate adverse income effects in the shorter term. Other measures such as direct support can be envisaged to mitigate adverse income effects but should be limited in time and conditioned to long-term investments with long lasting impacts.

(15) Member States, in consultation with regional leveand local authorities, civil society, economic and social partners, are best placed to design and to implement Plans that are adapted and targeted to their local, regional and national circumstances as their existing policies in the relevant areas and planned use of other relevant EU funds. In that manner, the broad diversity of situations, the specific knowledge of local and regional governments, of social and economic partners and the civil society, research and innovation and industrial relations and social dialogue structures, as well as national traditions, can best be respected and contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall support to the vulnerable.

(16) Ensuring that the measures and investments are particularly targeted towards energy poor or vulnerable households, vulnerable micro-enterpriseindividuals, households and vulnerable transport users is key for a just transition towards climate neutrality. Support measures to promote reductions in greenhouse gas emissions should help Member States to address the social impacts arising from the emissions trading for the sectors of buildings and road transport.

(17) Pending the impact of those investments on reducing costs and emissions, well -targeted direct incomhousehold expenditure support for the most vulnerable would helpin energy poverty may be necessary to reduce energy costs associated with the just transitione of energy inefficient appliances or leakages. Such support should be understood to be a temporaryn adaptive measure accompanying the decarbonisation of the housing and transport sectors. It would not be permanent as it does not address the root causes of energy and transport poverty. Such support should only concern direct impacts of the inclusion of building and roalong- term investments towards deep building renovations as well affordable and sustainable mobility, as part of a holistic and long-term strategy to tackle effectively energy poverty and transport poverty. Eligibility for such direct expenditure support should be targeted to people facing energy poverty and transport into poverty, withe scope of Directive 2003/87/EC, not electricity or heating costs related to the inclusion ofpecial attention to vulnerable women, such as single- mothers and elderly women with low income, who are disproportionately affected by energy powverty and heat production in the scope of that Directive. Eligibility for such direct income support should be limited in time. mobility poverty, due to different energy needs and mobility patterns.

(17 a) Respect for fundamental rights and compliance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, should be ensured throughout the preparation, evaluation, implementation and monitoring of eligible projects under the Fund. The Fund should contribute to eliminating inequalities, promoting gender equality and integrating the gender perspective, as well as combating discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation as set out in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), Article 10 TFEU and Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. All stakeholders involved at all stages of implementation of the Facility should commit to promote equality, and in particular, ensure that the impact on women is taken into account, given that women are disproportionately impacted by the transition process.

(18) Taking into account the importance of tackling climate changeclimate and environmental emergency in line with Paris Agreement commitments, and the commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the actions under this Regulation should contribute to the achievement of the target that at least 30% of all expenditure under the 2021- 2027 multiannual financial framework should be spent on mainstreaming climate objectives and should contribute to the ambition of providing 10% of annual spending to biodiversity objectives in 2026 and 2027, while considering the existing overlaps between climate and biodiversity goals. For this purpose, the methodology set out in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council33 should be used to tag the expenditures of the Fund. The Fund should support activities that fully respect the climate and environmental standards and priorities of the Union and comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ within the meaning ofechnical screening criteria established by the Commission in accordance with Article 170(3) of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council34 . Only such measures for the relevandt investments should be included in the Plans. Direct income support measures should as a rule be considered as having an insignificant foreseeable impact on environmental objectives, and as such be considered compliant with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’. The Commission intends to issue technical guidance to the Member States well ahead of the preparation of the Plans. The guidance will explain how the measures and investments must comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ within the meaning of Article 17 ofeligible under the Fund. Only such measures and investments should be included in the Plans. The Commission shall adopt a delegated act to specify eligibility criteria for those activities for which technical screening criteria have not yet been developed under Regulation (EU) 2020/852. The Commission intends to present in 2021 a proposal for a Council Recommendation on how to address the social aspects of the green transition. _________________ 33 Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 159). 34 Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13).

(18 a) High fossil gas prices causing extreme price spikes in some Member States in the 2021/2022 heating season, aggravated by import dependencies and geopolitical tensions, have exposed once more the EU dependence on imported fossil gas for its industries and households, especially felt by the most vulnerable. Investments in energy efficiency measures, as well as renewable energy based heating systems, including with electric heat pumps, heating and cooling at district level and participation in renewable energy communities, are hence the most cost-effective method of reducing import dependency and emissions while increasing EU resilience. Notably in the group of poorest households explicit funding schemes are necessary to ensure compliances with the aforementioned principles.
