Climate Social fund: crucial for the Fit for 55 jigsaw puzzle

This week on the Beyond the Byline podcast, we are discussing the social climate fund.

Representatives of the European Parliament, the Council and Commission met on Wednesday, 30th of November, to discuss the social climate fund proposal, considered one of the most important pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of Fit for 55, as it mostly relates to climate justice.

But what is the social climate fund, who can benefit from it and is this fund affected by the existing energy crisis? To understand better what is this fund and its importance I spoke with MEP Petros Kokkalis and with EURACTIV’s Energy and Environment editor Frederic Simon.
