At EU level, we diversify sources, save energy and store it. Our gas storage is already filled at 80%.
But to cut our dependence on Russian fossil fuels, we need renewables.
The commitments taken today would already deliver 1/3 of our 2030 target for offshore wind in the EU.

Gutes Gespräch mit Vize-Kanzler Habeck im @bmwk zur Energiekrise.
Die Energiepreise sind eine große Belastung für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger, und für die Wirtschaft.
Deshalb arbeiten wir an einem europäischen Notfallinstrument und einer strukturellen Reform des Strommarktes.

Beyond Europe, we must promote a global growth model fit for the challenges of this century.
It means developing the climate-friendly and digital infrastructure the world needs.
And to do so based on trust and transparency.
This is the spirit of #GlobalGateway.

We must bring those who believe in the power of the rules closer to us
Ukraine of course. And the Western Balkans
Balkan stability is European stability.
Their prosperity is our prosperity.
Best way to counter malign foreign influences is to strengthen democracy in Europe

Ending our dependency on Russian fossil fuels is step one.
Our increased need for other raw materials must not create new dependencies.
We must diversify supply and build ties with reliable partners.
I will be in 🇨🇦 in two weeks to advance our partnership.

The skyrocketing electricity prices are now exposing the limitations of our current market design.
It was developed for different circumstances.
That’s why we are now working on an emergency intervention and a structural reform of the electricity market.

We need a new strategic thinking to defend the rules-based order. We must:
• Neutralise Russia’s blackmail power, strengthen our ability to act
• Support the democracies most exposed to foreign threats
• Use our economic might to preserve and expand the rules-based order

🇸🇮 Very good exchanges with President @BorutPahor and Prime Minister Golob in the margins of the @BledStratForum
We discussed the importance of further strengthening ties with our Western Balkans partners and of tackling the situation on energy markets and security of supply.

Youth movements for the climate inspired me for the #EUGreenDeal
Now, young people in Taizé have given me fresh motivation and strength to stay the course.

I was very moved by my encounter with refugees from Ukraine, Syria, Palestine and South Sudan.
Their stories are so inspiring and humbling.
I’m so grateful to Taizé for welcoming them and giving them shelter.
A wonderful example of humanity.

Very happy to be in the communauté of Taizé.
An enriching moment of reflection and dialogue about peace and reconciliation.
About values that unite us all.
I’m also looking forward to exchanging with the youth of Taizé.
It will be a formidable source of inspiration!

More than 200.000 tons of 🇺🇦 agri produce have been exported via the Black Sea. That is encouraging.
But the Kremlin’s war still threatens global food security.
We continue to help boost exports from 🇺🇦
At the same time, we invest in more resilient food systems worldwide.
