Malta's plan will mobilise €60.6 million until 2032, including €45.4 million from the European Union.
The Social Climate Fund provides significant financial support to EU Member States to finance measures and investments identified in their national Social Climate Plans, ensuring that the clean transition is fair and leaves no one behind.
Malta's plan will help vulnerable households improve the energy efficiency of their homes and renovate apartments in public social housing buildings, the statement said.
The plan will also expand sustainable transport options for more than 30,000 vulnerable transport users through door-to-door community transport services.
