Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 of 15 November 2022 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the structure, format, technical details and process for the integrated national energy and climate progress reports

INFORMATION ON HOW THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTEGRATED NATIONAL ENERGY AND CLIMATE PLAN CONTRIBUTES TO JUST TRANSITION, THE PROMOTION OF BOTH HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY, AND ADDRESSING INEQUALITIES IN ENERGY POVERTY

Table 1

Impact of the implementation of the national energy and climate plan on jobs, workers and regions

Member States may provide quantitative elements on the expected evolution of labour market as a result of policies (e.g. sectors that will grow, others that will shrink, and by how much) and describe measures adopted/to be adopted to accompany this transition, including as regards education and training policies as well as social protection.

[^E0241]: (²)

Member States may describe expected impacts of policies on overall population as well as specific groups, especially the most vulnerable, reflecting as well whether some groups will benefit more than others, and describe measures aimed to ensure fairness and equal burden sharing in that respect.

Member States may describe expected impacts of policies on regions that are to be most affected by the transition, especially coal, peat or oil shale regions or carbon-intensive regions, and mitigating measures to address socioeconomic consequences in such areas. Member States are encouraged to provide quantitative indicators such as jobs, economic output and local tax revenue.

[^E0243]: (⁴)

Member States may describe expected impacts on reducing environmental hazards, degradation and pollution, improving the access to safer products, intact ecosystems and their services (food, clean air, water, climate stability etc.), secure livelihoods and benefit health and well-being, including healthier working condition, e.g., limiting emission and improving air quality standards of workplaces.

[^E0244]: (⁵)

Member States may describe the expected impacts on costs introduced as a result of climate, energy and environmental policies for both business and consumers (e.g., energy savings lower energy cost; more durable products lower costs for replacement; lower costs for environmental clean-up and public health).

Member States may describe the expected impacts of measures to ensure inclusiveness of climate, energy and environmental policies, in particular as regards low-income households and communities directly affected by the transition, for instance in most affected regions, through e.g. the implementation of green infrastructure and public services, participatory processes, etc.

Impact of the implementation of the national energy and climate plan on the promotion of human rights and gender equality and addressing inequalities in energy poverty

[^E0246]: (¹)

Climate justice and just transition also address the sharing of benefits and burdens of climate change from a human rights perspective. Climate change threatens the effective enjoyment of a range of human rights including those to life, water and sanitation, food, health, housing, self-determination, culture and development. Member States may describe how the implementation of their integrated national energy and climate plans contributes to their obligation to prevent the foreseeable adverse effects of climate change and ensure that those affected by it, particularly those in vulnerable situations, have access to effective remedies and means of adaptation to enjoy lives of human dignity.

[^E0247]: (²)

Member States may describe how their integrated national energy and climate plans are implementing the just transition considering the different impacts on opportunities for men, women and gender diverse people in transitioning regions, what obstacles exist, and what plans they have planned and implemented to move forward.
