Osnovni pokazatelji

  • Energy or fuel poverty is recognised as a severe problem in many Member States and this is mainly addressed through financial support. Alternative funding models should be explored, such as grants for housing associations and local authorities to deliver energy-efficient upgrades to buildings, community municipal bonds and green equity schemes.

  • Energy or fuel poverty is recognised as a severe problem in many Member States and this is mainly addressed through financial support. Alternative funding models should be explored, such as grants for housing associations and local authorities to deliver energy-efficient upgrades to buildings, community municipal bonds and green equity schemes.
  • When designing policy measures aimed at achieving the goal of climate-neutral policies, Member States must take a cross-departmental approach to account for the different socioeconomic effects, as workers, population groups, industries and regions are affected differently.
  • The management of a just transition is supported by EU and national funds, which provide opportunities for adopting a comprehensive and systemic approach rather than single-point solutions. Drawing up a plan for the future of industries and workers offers prospects to the regional and national economy.
  • The capacity of social dialogue needs to be strengthened to address distributional effects and facilitate a just transition. Evidence shows that the undesired effects of some climate policies, especially as they affect firms and workers in certain sectors and regions, can be addressed by social partners, and solutions can be achieved through social dialogue and joint initiatives.
  • The Just Transition Platform could be further developed as an EU hub for sharing national experiences on climate measures beyond the Just Transition Mechanism. While also coordinating with other EU-level initiatives with similar goals, the knowledge to be shared could include, for instance, national or regional experiences with carbon taxes, industrial standards, or public investments.

Europskim zelenim planom EU pokreće niz politika i mjera usmjerenih na sprječavanje i ublažavanje učinaka klimatskih promjena. Glavni je cilj započeti prelazak na klimatski neutralno gospodarstvo. Međutim, te prijeko potrebne klimatske politike mogu imati neželjene distribucijske učinke na pojedince i poduzeća. Uz njihove predviđene učinke, neke mjere, kao što su porezi na ugljik, mogu imati povezane regresivne učinke i negativno utjecati na ljude s nižom razinom dohotka, čime se umanjuje njihova prihvatljivost. Ovo se izvješće temelji na najnovijim nacionalnim iskustvima i u njemu se utvrđuju klimatske politike koje imaju znatne distribucijske učinke te se istražuje kako se oni rješavaju u različitim državama članicama. Osim toga, u izvješću se utvrđuju i opisuju glavna pitanja i sudionici aktualne javne rasprave o socioekonomskim učincima klimatskih politika.

Istraživanja provedena prije datuma povlačenja Ujedinjene Kraljevine iz Europske unije, odnosno prije 31. siječnja 2020., i naknadno objavljena mogu sadržavati podatke koji se odnose na 28 država članica EU-a. Nakon tog datuma istraživanja obuhvaćaju samo 27 država članica EU-a (tj. EU28 bez UK-a) ako nije drugačije navedeno.
