As #MFF consultations unfold, the EU can take inspiration from New Yorkโs Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA).
It mandates that โฅ35% (aim: 40%) of climate funding benefits disadvantaged communities.

The @EU_Commission announced it's action plan for affordable energy earlier today.
Our opinion in short: shuts the door on vulnerable households and it doesn't deliver tangible solutions.

๐จ EUโS AFFORDABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN FAILS HOUSEHOLDS ๐จ
The new plan prioritizes industry over people, leaving vulnerable households behind & failing to tackle the root causes of energy poverty. We need real solutions, not empty promises!

We call on the @EU_Commission to:
๐น Stop funding fossil fuel infrastructure โ
๐น Ensure targeted funding reaches those who need it most
๐น Strengthen protections against utility debt
A just transition means leaving no one behind! #RightToEnergy

What must be done?
๐น Social energy tariffs & monitoring of firewood prices
๐น Energy renovations: Fully funded for low-income households
๐น Local energy solutions: Heat networks, energy communities & energy sharing
#AffordableEnergyForAll must be fair & inclusive!

๐ฅ ETS2 will drive up firewood prices, worsening energy poverty & air pollution. Millions of low-income households rely on firewood for heating, but without safeguards, theyโll be hit hard by the transition.

The EU's plan falls short on energy poverty & does little to ensure access to affordable renewable energy for all. Meanwhile, public funding keeps missing those most in need. This is a critical failure! โ #AffordableEnergy

Last week, we organised our energy poverty workshop during the #RightToEnergyForum - the very first one focusing on #energypoverty and #PublicHealth .
An important step to share priorities, challenges and to identify joint working strands between sectors.

Health and #fuelpoverty need to be thought together: At the @RightToEnergy Forum, we highlighted innovative local action in the field from 3 local authorities (having signed the WELLBASED manifesto) and emphasised the crucial role they play.

๐งHealth improvements still happen more by accident rather than thx to systematic work. Health is seen as a consequence of #energypoverty measures, not as part and parcel of it. #Publichealth needs to be put at the very 1st stage of planning & policies.

Renovating the EUโs worst-performing homes, occupied by the most vulnerable families, will improve lives + tackle carbon emissions โฌ๏ธ
