The authors evaluate the Swedish Social Climate Plan’s performance through the Transitional Assistance Framework, and draw on examples from other member states’ proposed plans to provide recommendations to policymakers on how the Social Climate Fund can be used more effectively to promote a just transition.
Costs for fossil-fuelled transport and heating will rise, accounting for the price of emissions with the forthcoming implementation of the new EU Emissions Trading System, ETS2, in 2028. In expectation of this shift, EU member states are drafting Social Climate Plans outlining how the Social Climate Fund will be used to support vulnerable households that are directly and indirectly affected by ETS2. In this brief, the authors revisit an earlier analysis (Strambo et al., 2022) and recommendations and evaluate how they align to Sweden’s Social Climate Plan.
