Guter Austausch mit Robert Habeck über die Beschleunigung des grünen Wandels der Industrie in Europa und die Dringlichkeit, den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien voranzutreiben. Die Klimakrise wartet nicht und wir haben bei der Umgestaltung unserer Wirtschaft keine Zeit zu verlieren.

Great to speak with the courageous Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya. We cannot lose sight of the Belarusian people and their future. The EU must reach out to the democratic forces to support the planning of rebuilding and reforms for a free, independent, and prosperous Belarus. #MSC2023

RT @ClimateEnvoy: Great discussion with @TimmermansEU and @jensstoltenberg. While we must confront the security risks the world faces head on, we must also do so with an eye to the climate crisis, which is making these dangers worse. @MunSecConf

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.

Did you know that road transport is responsible for:
🟢 20% of total 🇪🇺 greenhouse gas emissions and that’s on the rise
More than a quarter of those emissions come from heavy-duty vehicles (trucks and buses) with internal combustion engines.

Europe is on the road to greener transport.
Our next step is to reduce emissions from Heavy-Duty Vehicles.
➡️Today @EU_Commission proposes that new city buses should be zero-emission from 2030, and other HDVs should reduce emissions by 90% from 2040.

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.
