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.
