Petição dirigida a: Policymakers at the European Parliament, European Commission, and EU member state governments
Every day, households across Europe experience the impact of volatile fuel and energy prices. Dependence on fossil fuels leaves people in a vulnerable position, while oil and gas companies are making huge profits (1).
To kickstart our move away from this dysfunctional system, a new EU scheme will generate billions of euros to support households in the transition to cleaner energy. This policy, known as Emissions Trading System 2 (ETS2), will put a price on emissions from road transport and buildings (2).
However, the launch of ETS2 has been delayed by one year (3), and many governments have failed to submit their plans for using the Social Climate Fund on time, meaning that significant sums intended for citizens have been held back (4).
What needs to be done:
- Break free from fossil fuels. Stop delaying the introduction of the carbon price for road transport and buildings (ETS2), and don’t water it down.
- Guarantee governments invest in real and lasting solutions. Every Euro counts to make homes more comfortable, communities healthier, and clean transportation affordable.
- Put carbon revenues to work for people. Expand the EU’s Social Climate Fund and deliver strong Social Climate Plans, so support reaches those who need it most.
Razões
Your Voice Matters
Over the past 20 years, putting a price on pollution has helped cut EU carbon emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The first Emissions Trading System (ETS1) covers heavy industry, energy, aviation, and shipping. A second system, ETS2, addressing building and road transport emissions, is being delayed, with its start planned for only 2028.
Worryingly, many parliamentarians and governments have made clear their intention to further delay or completely cancel this new system (5 & 6).
Putting a price on pollution benefits both people and the planet, generating funds to make clean and energy-efficient solutions more accessible, from heat pumps, home renovations, to improving our public transport systems (7).
Crucially, a Social Climate Fund (8), introduced alongside ETS2, is designed to support households that need the most support, and increasing its size would improve its reach.
Carbon pricing allows us to break our dependency on expensive fossil fuels and strengthen the EU’s energy security by putting power back in our hands. This transition not only protects us from volatile prices and climate change but also leads to better air quality and healthier communities.
We call on governments and EU policymakers to stop delaying and diluting ETS2. Stop protecting fossil fuel interests and boost the social ambition of the system.
A just climate transition cannot wait!
