Great to meet 🇨🇿 Minister Schillerová on the margins of the #ECOFIN @eucouncilnewsroom.bsky.social to discuss a wide range of taxation files.

In 🇱🇺 today for the ECOFIN Council to discuss windfall profits, international climate finance conclusions, the Mind the Gap report, and the updated list of non-cooperative jurisdictions. See my doorsteps for more 👉🏻 newsroom.consilium.europa.eu/events/20261...

Important and constructive meeting with the COP31 leadership Murat Kurum and @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social on what the EU expects at COP31. We will continue to be in contact over the coming weeks to work together ahead of COP31.

📍🇫🇯 The COP31 Presidencies, the Climate Ministers and scientists had the opportunity to outline what their priorities are for COP31. I also outlined the EU priorities for COP31 My speech 👉🏻 ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

📍🇫🇯 I had the chance to speak at an event organised by Vanuatu and the Netherlands on the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on Climate Change. I commend the tireless work of young people and civil society whose advocacy and determination contributed to this result.

📍🇫🇯 Very good meeting with 🇳🇿 Minister Simon Watts. We share a similar vision for COP31: more clean electrification is very much needed.

As always, good to meet with 🇮🇳 Minister Bhupender Yadav. We discussed our expectations for COP31, specifically on clean electrification and on the role of science.

Tonight, in Fiji 🇫🇯, after a long day in Tuvalu, I delivered remarks on behalf of the EU at the pre-COP31 meeting. For the 🇪🇺, staying as close as possible to 1.5°C and getting back below 1.5, remains the non-negotiable goal.

Great to be in Fiji 🇫🇯 for the pre-COP31 meetings with ministers. Climate change is a challenge for all, but for the Islands it is existential. That is why the EU’s engagement at the pre-COP in Fiji is so important.

Great to meet many young people today to discuss climate action and the preparations to COP31. We had a constructive conversation on mitigation, adaptation, just transition, access to climate finance, and the meaningful participation of young people.

Great to share the stage with CEO Paul Walsh of European Cycling Industries yesterday. We had an interesting conversation about the importance of cycling and e-bikes as alternative modes of transport to support the transition to cleaner mobility.

Climate action and competitiveness go hand in hand. Yesterday at the 🇪🇺 Forum for Family Businesses, I spoke about the strength of family businesses’ long-term focus, and how the ETS and CBAM can help drive investment, innovation and a level playing field for European industry.

As part of my visit to 🇮🇪, it was great to catch up with Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee. We discussed geopolitics and creating stronger ties between the 🇪🇺 and like-minded partners.

Important to meet with industry and business representatives here in Ireland. We discussed how to accelerate grid expansion, renewables and permitting. Creating the right conditions for clean-tech investment and growth is key.

Very good meeting Tánaiste and Minister for Finance @simonharrisireland.bsky.social in Dublin today. We discussed the Irish Presidency’s ongoing work on taxation, including tobacco, omnibus and DAC, as well as the MFF negotiations.

Great to start my visit to Ireland 🇮🇪 with a meeting with Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social It was very good to see him again after UNGA. Really appreciate his leadership and engagement on ETS and COP31.

Very constructive roundtable with business representatives organised by B-Team lead by IKEA CEO Jesper Brodin. We reiterated the importance of climate, competitiveness and independence going hand in hand.

Good to meet UAE 🇦🇪 Minister Amna Al Dahak. We looked back at the successful UAE COP presidency and discussed the themes for the upcoming COP.

Had a valuable discussion on Clean Tech Partnerships with my good friend 🇨🇦 Minister @melaniejolycan.bsky.social and investors, facilitated by the Sequoia Climate Foundation. We discussed how to shape the opportunities of the EU-Canada partnership, specifically in the domain of clean tech.

Participated in the 3rd dialogue in the COP31-IEA High-Level Energy Transitions Dialogue series, and the Solutions Dialogue on Energy Transitions with Dr. Fatih Birol. We had a good exchange on the role of clean energy in strengthening energy security and supporting the transition.

At UNGA ,we also touched base with our EU Member States on the preparations for COP31. At the @irishmissionun.bsky.social, we discussed our common agenda, in particular on electrification.

Great to be at the @americaisallin.com event with @governor.ca.gov to discuss climate, competitiveness, and independence. California is doing a truly impressive job in marrying its climate ambition with spectacular growth. We’ll further step up our collaboration in carbon markets and clean tech.

In the 20 years since California's carbon emission peak in 2004, we've both slashed those emissions by 28% and nearly doubled our economy. The Golden State’s economy is growing BECAUSE of our climate action, not despite it. #ClimateWeekNYC

Important to attend the High Ambition Coalition event. Thanks to the Republic of the 🇲🇭 Marshall Islands for convening and pushing to keep science at the heart of the Paris Agreement.  Science underpins all we do to tackle climate change, and it must remain at the core of our efforts.

🇹🇷Good to meet again with Murat Kurum, COP31 President-Designate.  Clean electrification is an important priority for COP31. To transition away from fossil fuels, we need to double down on electrification, scaling clean power, grids and the technologies that can accelerate the transition.

Good to meet 🇿🇦 South Africa’s Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, David Maynier, at #UNGA   South Africa has been a close partner and ally when it comes to climate action. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration and working together at COP31.

Great to catch up again with senator @senwhitehouse.bsky.social here in New York 🇺🇸. We discussed EU-US relations, carbon pricing, and the ramifications of climate change for the insurance sector.

Arrived in the 🇺🇸 for the United Nationa General Assembly, a unique gathering where the whole world comes together.    I’m here to discuss energy security, international climate cooperation, economic affairs, and preparations for COP31.  Looking forward to the conversations.

1/4 Today President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu delivered her State of the Union address in the @europarl.europa.eu in Strasbourg. Every year, this is a landmark moment for Europe setting the political direction for the coming year – and it brings together Commissioners, MEPs, and Europeans. 🧵

Good to meet with 🇬🇧 Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social A pleasure to meet and discuss the important topics ahead: the Emissions Trading System, the road to COP31 and the COP itself.
