Poland has what it takes to take the lead in Europe’s energy transition. In each region that will receive funding, there is a strong sense of determination and a desire to build a better future for all workers and citizens.

Economic logic, climate change, and air pollution require that we turn the page on coal. We want to do so by giving new life to Europe’s coal regions.
My visit to the Hewalex solar panel plant today underlined Silesia’s great potential.

A real pleasure to have been in Katowice today and announce the adoption of four #JustTransition plans for Poland.
The @EU_Commission is determined to leave nobody behind in our climate transition. We want a clean, healthy, and sustainable future to be available for everyone.

A few years ago, the Commission set out to make plastics fully circular, limiting and even banning some of the most polluting #SingleUsePlastics🥤🍴🥡
Today we take the next step by putting the entire packaging sector firmly on track towards circularity 📦♻️

RT @EUClimateAction: To keep temperature rise to 1.5°C, we must remove carbon already out there in addition to cutting emissions.
We need carbon removals: natural or industrial activities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Tomorrow, we'll present our 🇪🇺 Certification of Carbon Removals proposal.

The EU has presented a proposal that could see #COP27 agree to a #lossanddamage fund - targeted to the most vulnerable, reflecting the financial realities of 2022. It must go hand-in-hand with higher ambition on emissions reductions.
Here’s what I told the press this morning 👇

Great to meet president-elect @LulaOficial in the margins of #COP27.
We had a long talk about future opportunities for further 🇪🇺-🇧🇷 cooperation, including on halting #deforestation and Brazil's candidacy for #COP30.
I look forward to our next meetings!

RT @TimmermansEU: 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 👇
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/TimmermansEU/status/1593126617391411201
The EU and its members are consistent, reliable donors of climate finance.
Yet we know that we can do more and do better to support vulnerable countries.
At #COP27 today, we announced over €1 billion for adaptation in Africa from 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇩🇰 🇳🇱.
