European Funding

EU social climate fund

From 2026, €87 billion will be available through the EU Social Climate Fund for targeted purchase subsidies, cycling infrastructure projects, and bike-sharing schemes – key tools to fight transport poverty. However, this can only happen if Member States include these measures in their national Social Climate Plans, which must be submitted by June 2025. Here is how you can help us ensure that the Social Climate Fund is used to prioritise reliable, affordable, and sustainable transportation options for all.

EU Structural Funds

Never before has there been such an opportunity to obtain significant EU funds for cycling investments as now. ECF has prepared 27 country-specific guides to ensure local and regional authorities do not miss this chance. We encourage governments to include pro-cycling objectives in the programming documents for the new European Regional Development Fund.

Recovery and Resilience Facility

750 billion EUR will be allocated to Member States, through grants and loans in the Next Generation EU (i.e. the recovery fund) to address the economic crisis caused by the Corona crisis. The largest single fund is the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RFF) with a budget of 672 billion EUR. At least 30% of these investments need to support climate action.
