Every generation has a responsibility to make Europe better.

For my generation, it’s about Europe’s contribution to peace, to our planet and to solidarity.

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.

Today is the 31st anniversary of Ukraine’s independence.

But we also mark 6 months since the beginning of Russia’s atrocious invasion.

Our financial, humanitarian, military support is unwavering.

Ukrainian people are fighting for our values.

They must and they will prevail.

The EU will never recognise the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol by Russia.

We work tirelessly with Ukraine to expose human rights violations, hold those responsible accountable and support the victims.

It is with deep sorrow that I learnt of the passing of Mauro Petriccione, our Director General for Climate Action.
 
Mauro was a dear, respected colleague. His work earned him respect and friendships in Europe & beyond

My thoughts are with his family & friends in these sad times

Today we honour the victims of totalitarian regimes.

We are inspired by those who stood up to injustice then and we support those who do it today, as the horrors of war are back in Europe.

Ukrainians are giving their lives to protect the values on which our Union is built.

Saving energy can start at home.

EU ecodesign rules and energy labelling have made the appliances we use in our daily lives way more energy efficient.

We all have a role to play – let’s save energy by replacing inefficient appliances with more efficient ones.

Renewable energy makes us more independent from Russian gas.

Last year 34 GW of renewable energy capacity was added to the EU energy mix, saving about 7 bcm of natural gas

All EU countries should make efforts in this field and seize the investment opportunities of #REPowerEU
