Event Overview
The Social Climate Fund - carbon pricing for people is a forum aimed at addressing the challenges posed by rising energy and fossil fuel prices, particularly for vulnerable populations. Scheduled for November 14, 2026, from 14:30 to 16:00 (+03), this hybrid event will be accessible both at COP31 and via live streaming on YouTube.
Key Discussions
The forum will explore how carbon pricing can generate revenues that not only fund the transition to cleaner energy but also assist households grappling with high energy and transport costs. Participants will hear from local authorities and civil society representatives who will share their experiences and lessons learned in making energy and transport more affordable globally. The discussions will center on the EU's Social Climate Fund and its role in ensuring that the costs and benefits of the clean transition are shared equitably.
Speakers
Notable speakers include Marija Vučković, the Minister of Environmental Protection and Green Transition from Croatia, and Cristina Fróes de Borja Reis, the Extraordinary Secretary of Carbon Markets from Brazil. The session will be moderated by Mario Nava, Director General of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion at the European Commission.
