Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Buildings in the EU are responsible for 36% of greenhouse gas emissions. Transports are responsible for 27% of greenhouse gas emissions, from which 72% amount to road transport. In parallel, mobility and heating/cooling represent the biggest lines in European household budgets, being close to one third of their annual expenditure. Decarbonising buildings and transports is particularly challenging because households are locked into existing infrastructures, which are costly to change and, therefore, have little options to choose a sustainable alternative. Given this scope, the Commission’s proposal to extend the EU’s carbon trading scheme to buildings and transports would hit households hard, in particular the vulnerable ones. Indeed, energy bills will increase, making low and middle-income households poorer, pushing households at risk of poverty or social exclusion into energy poverty and fatally hitting vulnerable households. Changing transport systems and heating/cooling systems for homes is not only crucial from a climate and environmental perspective but also very important in terms of social justice. Therefore, the ecological transition cannot be achieved by market mechanisms and the price signals that follow from them.
