Loss and damage is a key issue this #COP27.
The EU wants to be a bridge builder and will submit a proposal to ensure loss and damage support reaches the most vulnerable countries, who desperately need it.
Below what I told reporters earlier today why that is 👇

This is the Implementation COP. It's time to deliver.
The 🇪🇺 is firmly on track to finalise the legislation to deliver our climate target by the end of this year.
We expect to reach at least -57% emissions reductions by 2030 and therefore stand ready to update our NDC.

RT @EUClimateAction: 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 is a hot topic at #COP27 , but what does it really mean?
It's about money - from public and private sources - financing actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to current and future impacts of climate change.

To keep 1.5 degrees in reach, we have to tackle #methane emissions. A fast response to peaks due to leaks, venting or flaring is crucial.
@UNEP's new @MethaneData system allows early detection and enables every country to take rapid action to reduce methane emissions 👇

🟢 Carbon sinks back on a path to growth
Once finalized, tonight’s agreement helps open the door to a higher 🇪🇺 climate target.

It’s no wonder the first #Fitfor55 deal is on the CO2 car standards: the pace of change in the past years has been truly remarkable.
EU car industry is ready, consumers are eager to embrace zero-emission mobility. So let’s go full speed ahead!

These rules do not work in isolation.
They require ambition on other policies too: saying goodbye to fossil fuels, moving to clean mobility, sustainable agriculture, healthy diets, and more.
This is about protecting our own health and that of the environment.
