The Walloon Government today took note of progress in implementing the Social Climate Plan, a set of measures designed to support the most vulnerable households and micro-enterprises against the expected impact of extending the emissions trading system (ETS2) to the building and transport sectors.
In this context, Wallonia is receiving a European envelope of €546.9 million, supplemented by a 25% regional co-financing, bringing the Walloon SCF to €729.3 million excl. VAT for the 2026-2032 period.
In accordance with previously taken decisions, the competent Ministers have finalised a first version of their measure sheets covering housing, mobility and business support. These sheets will be compiled by the Cross-cutting Strategies Unit (CST), which will forward them to the National Climate Commission (NCC) so that they can be sent in provisional form to the European Commission. These sheets will need to be revised in light of informal feedback from the European Commission.
This step is part of the European process that must lead to the approval of the Belgian Social Climate Plan by February 2026.
For Adrien Dolimont, Minister-President of Wallonia: “We are moving forward seriously and methodically in preparing the Social Climate Plan. The first measure sheets we are submitting today mark an important, but still evolving, stage of work. Our priority is to guarantee a fair transition, ensuring that European funds genuinely benefit the households and micro-enterprises most exposed to the changes ahead.”
The Government will continue to ensure technical and political follow-up of the mechanism, in close coordination with national and European bodies.
