ETS Talk: Making carbon pricing for road transport and building work for central and eastern Europe
Sep 2, 2025
15 September 2025 | 14.00-15.30 CET | Online
This ‘ETS Talk’ will discuss a new study examining the impact of EU ETS2 on households in central and eastern Europe.

The session will cover:
- Key findings on distributional and geographical vulnerabilities.
- Insights on how ETS2 affects households using gas, coal, or living in poorly renovated homes.
- Recommendations for fair Social Climate Fund design and priorities for ETS2 revenue spending.
