RT @EUClimateAction: Good climate news:
Average CO2 emissions from new cars in Europe decreased by 12% in 2020 compared to 2019.
The main reason was the uptake of electric vehicles 🚗⚡️, which increased from 3.5% in 2019 to 11.6% in 2020.

Humanity is being challenged at a level seldom seen before in history. With complex challenges like these, there are no easy answers.

Czechia is a country with a rich industrial tradition and a promising future. The 🇨🇿 Just Transition Plan adopted today invests € 1.64 billion for a fair transition to climate neutrality in Czechia, especially for the people in Karlovasky, Ústecky, and Moravskoslezky regions.
RT @ElisaFerreiraEC: With adoption of its Just Transition Plan, Czechia is ready to make the best of its 2021-2027 #CohesionPolicy investments.

RT @EUClimateAction: 👏 to the 🇺🇸 for ratifying the #KigaliAmendment to phase down super greenhouse gases known as HFCs.
A big step forward in our fight against climate change.
The 🇪🇺 ratified the amendment in 2018 and has been taking strong action against HFCs.

Very good to have met 🇦🇪 Minister Al Jabar at #UNGA
As the first in the region to go for #NetZero by 2050 and with an updated, ambitious 2030 target, the UAE are committed to lead on the climate and energy transition.
I look forward to working together on the way to #COP28.

For succes at #COP27, all major emitters must deliver. We also need clear progress on adaptation, climate finance, aligning global financial flows with the #ParisAgreement, and strengthening support to vulnerable countries to address loss and damage.

A pleasure to meet @SimonStiell in his new role leading @UNFCCC. While the energy crisis is deeply impacting the EU, we are staying the course: our climate targets are fixed in law and legislation to meet them is in the final stages.

At the meeting I also underlined that food shortages are caused by Russia and its illegal invasion of Ukraine. This is not the EU’s doing. Regarding energy, we are saving energy and switching as fast as possible to renewables to help end the disbalance between supply and demand.

Africa’s and Europe’s destinies are tightly linked. By taking advantage of the huge potential for renewable energy, Africa can develop its own energy resources and not just sell green hydrogen, but green steel to the world. #UNGA

Good to discuss the road to #COP27 and #COP15 with minister @S_Guilbeault this morning.
Both 🇨🇦 and 🇪🇺 are determined to achieve steep emissions reductions this decade, and to stop and reverse the biodiversity crisis.

RT @EUClimateAction: Did you know that the @LIFEprogramme is working to combat the climate crisis🌍?
For 30 years, LIFE has funded over 5⃣5⃣0⃣0⃣ projects, including on #climatechange mitigation & adaptation‼

Discussed with @ClimateEnvoy Kerry the urgency to follow through on commitments made at #COP26
The climate finance gap has to close. All major emitters must deliver the required emissions reductions
With #Fitfor55 and #InflationReductionAct the transition in 🇪🇺&🇺🇸 is happening

Really good to meet with 🇧🇧 Prime Minister @MiaAmorMottley again.
#COP27 should bring clear commitment on strengthening support for adaptation and loss and damage. Early warning systems, building back better after natural disasters are a key part of this agenda.

Very good to catch up with minister @RaniaAlMashat at #UNGA.
We discussed Egypt’s just energy transition, opportunities for renewable energy, ensuring food security, and the need to tackle broader environmental challenges.
The EU stands ready to support wherever possible.
