We need a new geopolitical prism: as the climate crisis and environmental degradation deepen, they are going to impact our security for the worse.
With @jensstoltenberg @ClimateEnvoy @JosepBorrellF we agreed to work together on this as soon as possible.

Clear support from @europarl_en for putting 🇪🇺 car industry on the road to zero-emission.
With this vote, EU citizens can drive clean, affordable cars. The global transition is happening, and EU car industry is ready to lead it.

Colombia’s vision for social, climate and economic justice centred around total peace is an inspiring example for the wider region.

Exclusion, hate, and antisemitism have no place in society. They can never take over again.
But as time passes, new generations risk losing sight of humanity's dark past.
That's why #WeRemember: to learn, and to live brighter, more inclusive lives.

For Ukraine’s #GreenReconstruction @OlKubrakov and I discussed how to build back better and respond to 🇺🇦’s immediate needs.
The war has also done huge harm to the environment. I assured @RuslanStrilets of the 🇪🇺’s support to assess the damage and hold the culprits accountable.

Ukraine must come out of this war victorious.
Ukrainians are not just fighting for themselves, they are fighting for freedom, democracy, and rule of law.
The EU will stand by Ukraine as long as it takes.

Very good to discuss Ukraine’s #GreenReconstruction plans and European future with President @ZelenskyyUA in Kyiv today.
Ukraine has what it takes to become a leader in modern green energy. It has huge potential for solar, wind, hydrogen, and biomethane.
