ACEA Online Workshop on the Social Climate Fund

A EUROPEAN FUND SUPPORTING CLEAN VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT

The Social Climate Fund (SCF) has been created to support the most vulnerable groups, including micro-enterprises and road transport users, against transport poverty. It aims to compensate for the negative social impact that the EU ETS might have on road transport.

Objectives:

• Understanding the Social Climate Fund: How does it work and how can national associations support the preparation and implementation of SCF national plans?
• Providing an update on the status of SCF activities at the European level, including guidelines and reports, as well as next steps.
• Discussing how the SCF can be effectively allocated to address transport poverty, ensuring that vulnerable groups (individuals and micro-enterprises) have access to affordable and sustainable transport options.
• Identifying the specific needs of vulnerable households and transport users, and how funding can be directed to meet these needs.
• Sharing best practices: Share best practices and lessons already learned from Member States in implementing social mobility initiatives.
