COP28 gives us the chance to act for our climate.

We must:

Reach the agreed $100bn climate finance target this year.

Double the share for climate adaptation.

Mobilise more innovative sources of finance.

We’ll discuss this at the Paris Financing Summit and at the G20 Summit.

This year, the EU is taking forward over 90 major projects under #GlobalGateway as part of #PGII.

The next pandemic cannot catch us unprepared. We agreed to:

• Bolster global health architecture
• Increase regional vaccine production capacities
• Strengthen financing
• Expand Universal Health Coverage
• Address AMR

@G7 concerted action on all this is crucial.

We want a free and fair international order.

We know that our interdependencies risk being weaponised.

So I welcome the G7 communique on Economic Security

We’re willing to develop safeguards and targeted instruments together

Let’s remain coordinated to reduce economic risks

This @G7 shows that unity is our strength.

Be it on defending the rules based international order.

Or on win-win partnerships with other global partners.

Thank you dear PM @kishida230 for your leadership of the G7 and your emphasis on a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Our policies towards China need to change because China is changing.

Decoupling from China is neither viable nor in our interest.

Leaders united behind the idea of de-risking, but not decoupling ↓

‘As long as it takes’ must be our common theme in support of Ukraine.

→ Provide the necessary military support

→ Ensure economic resilience incl. with financial support for this year and beyond

→ Tightening sanctions - esp. focused on circumvention

Unity is our strength.

Artificial Intelligence’s potential benefits for citizens and the economy are great.

At the same time, we need to agree to guardrails to develop AI in the EU, reflecting our democratic values.

We want AI systems to be accurate, reliable, safe and non-discriminatory, regardless…

Russia and its oligarchs have to contribute to rebuilding Ukraine.

At this @coe Summit, we are setting up a Register of Damages.

An important step towards a future compensation mechanism.

The EU will join and cover the start-up costs of €1 million.

As Russia wages war against democracy itself, Europe is united for Ukraine.

As we gather, @avalaina and Ukrainian human rights activists are demanding accountability for Russia’s war crimes.
