We were especially pleased to welcome Rosalinde van der Vlies for her first public engagement in her new role at DG CLIMA @ec.europa.eu. She stressed correctly: “ETS2 is not just a law on paper or about climate targets, it’s about concretely improving the lives of European citizens.”

Cool Heating Coalition @coolheatingcoalition.eu · 01/10/2026
We also looked at what ETS2 means in practice: not as a policy working in isolation, but alongside the Social Climate Fund. A recurring theme was implementation. Europe already has much of the framework it needs. Now we need to use it. But will Member States have the funding and support they need?

The goal of "Clean Heat, Cleaner Air" was to break silos between communities that too often have these conversations separately. Health, energy, climate & social policy may approach the issue differently, but ultimately they’re talking about the same homes, the same energy bills & the same people.

Cool Heating Coalition @coolheatingcoalition.eu · 01/10/2026
We heard about the very real health impacts of polluted air and cold homes, the challenge of turning stronger air-quality standards into action, and the financing needed to make that happen. Clean heat can help connect all three. #EUPol #EnergySky

🫁 Investing in clean heating is a public health investment On Monday, we brought public health, climate & energy communities together for "Clean Heat, Cleaner Air: connecting ETS2 and public health". The message was: clean heating is about climate, health, affordability and energy independence. 🧵

This morning, the European Parliament debates this summer's heatwaves. Cooling isn't a luxury: 20% of Europeans struggle to stay cool, annual heat deaths have risen to tens of thousands. We need a Cooling & Heating Action Plan to support adequate, sustainable, and efficient cooling.

The bottom line: More than €245 billion remains unused. Investing it in clean heating & cooling, as the plan promised, is how Europe ends the fossil fuel crisis cycle for good & builds real energy security. Read more 👉 www.eca.europa.eu/en/news/NEWS...

♨️ The link to heating & cooling? REPowerEU aimed to double EU heat pump deployment (+10M units in 5 yrs), modernise district heating & speed up renovation. Every year of delay means more households stuck with volatile gas prices & costly boilers.

💶 €300 billion pledged for the clean energy transition, €54 billion delivered. #EUPol #EnergySky Europe faced its 2nd fossil fuel crisis in under a decade. REPowerEU was meant to end reliance on Russian gas but the European Court of Auditors confirms EU capitals committed under 1/5 of the funds. 🧵

Europe has the clean heat technologies & a strong manufacturing base, yet its heat pump market contracted by >20% in 2024. Getting the transition back on track requires clear policies that create reliable, long-term demand & give manufacturers confidence to invest & scale up. 👉 tinyurl.com/ysn2jfbn

Our message when speaking to the European Correspondent: Heat pumps are far more efficient than boilers. Even at 2x the price per energy unit, they cost less to run. Tax reform can ensure this price ratio, and double the EU electrification rate by 2040.

Electricity is over twice as expensive than gas in all the EU except Sweden and Finland 💶 The graph in today's piece in The European Correspondent shows why gas remains cheaper to use than electricity. Taxes on electricity make up 25–35% of household bills, while gas remains lightly taxed. 🧵👇
