Abstract

The new emission trading system for buildings and transport that will be implemented in the EU in 2027 will affect households in member states to very different extents. We focus on two member states, Austria and Poland, to assess households’ vulnerability to carbon pricing. These countries were chosen as they differ considerably in terms of their energy systems and economic conditions. We describe the countries’ relevant framework conditions, highlighting challenges and potential social risks related to decarbonization, and provide a summary of climate policy and related policy areas. Moreover, we compare the structure of national tax systems. Due to the higher relevance of coal and lower purchasing power, it can be assumed that the distributional impacts of an EU-wide CO2 price will be considerably higher in Poland than in Austria and will require differentiated recycling measures to avoid social hardships.
