Multilateralism endures; we proved Trump wrong; climate action is unstoppable. Now, governments must do better and exceed their current commitments. 1/2

Trade policy is central to the green transition www.ft.com/content/d846...

The world is watching Belém for a clear sign that governments are rising to the urgency of the climate crisis and are determined to do better, together. Citizens will not thank those who choose instead to reopen what has already been settled. (1/8)

Climate impacts fall hardest on minorities and women; climate justice begins with recognising that. When 92 countries at COP30 reaffirm their commitment to human rights and gender-responsive climate policy, they reinforce the foundation of effective climate action. (1/4)

Good discussion this morning at COP30 on trade and climate. As new initiatives emerge – including the Integrated Forum on Climate and Trade – we need clearer evidence, stronger regional voices, and real alignment between climate and trade rules. Philanthropy has a role to play.

The Land Gap Report shows why pledges built on vast land removals are no substitute for real decarbonisation – especially phasing out fossil fuels. (1/2)

I felt a deep joy hearing that social justice is returning to the COP space. It must stay — it’s our moral compass. Today’s conversation on the Global Ethical Stocktake at #COP30 reaffirmed that

Amid the noise, there is a clear signal from the IEA’s World Energy Outlook: the energy transition is underway. Clean energy is surging – solar up 344% and wind nearly doubling by 2035 – and fossil fuel demand will peak around 2030 if governments stick to their pledges, if we hold our nerve. (1/7)

The question of where #COP31 is hosted is secondary to what it delivers. What matters most is real progress on climate ambition, finance & implementation - especially for the energy transition. 1/3

Great to join the opening of the Global Climate Action Agenda at COP30. A decade on from Paris, the Action Agenda has mobilised cities, investors, and businesses at scale. The next decade must see a more focused and accountable phase of delivery, guided by the Global Stocktake

www.politico.eu/article/cop3... COP30 can be remembered not just for new pledges or targets but for rebooting the relationship between citizens and the climate regime. The case for a Citizens' Track at COP, with @annehidalgo.bsky.social , @eduardopaesoficial.bsky.social and Manuel Pulgar-Vidal.

At the @wemeanbusiness.bsky.social pavilion today with The B Team and Exponential Road Initiaitive, I joined business and policy leaders to discuss how we can unlock exponential tipping points – moments when innovation, investment, and policy combine to accelerate systemic change. #COP30 1/4

The methane summit in Belém – co-hosted by Brazil, China, the UK and Barbados – marks an important step to cut methane and other short-lived pollutants, the fastest and most cost-effective way to slow warming and deliver cleaner air. (1/6)

COP30 will test resilience against climate backsliding, EU envoy says. valorinternational.globo.com/cop30-brazil...

As COP30 begins in Belém, we mark ten years since the Paris Agreement. It has reshaped the global economy – doubling clean-energy investment, pushing renewables past coal, and bending the projected warming curve. (1/10)

Europe will arrive in Belém with a strong NDC – just in time, but a clear signal that it remains fully committed to the Paris Agreement. This was a hard-fought outcome, achieved in a difficult political and economic context. 1/4

Happy to be in Rio de Janeiro for the Local Leaders Forum, promoting the vital role of subnationals in the green transition. Cities can close up to 40% of the global emissions gap - many are acting faster than their national governments. Protecting 1.5°C starts locally! 1/2

Worrying to see some of Europe’s biggest CEOs calling for the full abolishment of corporate due diligence rules. Six months ago, the same voices were calling for “simplification.” Now they want to scrap the framework entirely. What changed? (1/7)

A wonderful, energising moment with an inspiring group.

Almost every government in the world recognises climate change as a defining challenge and clean energy as the backbone of prosperity. Denying this reality doesn’t stop it – which is why countries are accelerating climate action and cooperation even in tough times.

Great discussion at @harvard.edu with Arunabha Ghosh, Adnan Amin and Joseph Aldy. I underlined that the Paris Agreement remains the backbone of climate cooperation. In this volatile moment, Europe must defend it - with strong 2035 and 2040 targets and coalition-building.

Ahead of UNGA and COP30, the EU faces a decisive moment. Its pledge to set a 2035 NDC and 2040 target is a step forward – but the path ahead is still a long one. (1/3)

EU and China are both key to the global green-tech race. Instead of defensive policies, Europe should partner with China on standards, investment, and innovation—balancing economic interests for a faster, fairer climate transition. A must-read! www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/e...

Europe may have avoided a trade war – but at what cost? The US keeps the tariffs on key European exports, while Europe commits to deeper trade and investment ties with a country whose economic policy is increasingly made between rounds of golf. (1/7)

Alors qu’on sort d’une canicule éprouvante, le HCC confirme : sans virage politique, la France manquera ses objectifs climatiques 2030. L’État doit reprendre la main, orienter l’investissement, protéger les plus vulnérables. À +3°C, personne ne sera épargné. (1/2)

In a world rocked by war and uncertainty, the EU’s new 2040 climate target is a beacon of stability. 🎯 90% GHG reduction by 2040. This is Europe saying: we keep our promises. (1/9)

Redonner aux citoyens le pouvoir d’agir : une urgence démocratique. Je signe une tribune dans @libe et j’en débattrai ce week-end au @FestIdees avec @Francois_Ruffin & @edwyplenel. Nouvelle donne géopolitique, réveil des démocraties : on en parle. ➡️ lefestivaldesidees.fr/1279-2/#page...

Leadership means consistency. An ambitious EU NDC is vital for climate action and would send not only a signal of hope, but one of consistency. People and the economic sector need clarity in a polarised and unpredictable world. (1/4)

Insurers are the canary in the coal mine of escalating climate risks. If risks are becoming unmanageable, speak out – as you did when you were key allies in securing the Paris Agreement. Great discussion with Nick Mabey and Keith Tuffley at #CIF25 during London Climate Action Week.

10 years on from Paris, cities & local leaders are the best hope for climate action. Cities are already proving that a just, people-first transition is not only possible, but is already happening. Read me & @laurencetubiana.bsky.social for @oglobo.globo.com 🇧🇷: oglobo.globo.com/opiniao/arti...

An honour to join local leaders worldwide to mark 10 years of the Paris Agreement. To speed up delivery in the next 10, we must empower those closest to communities. As COP30 host, Brazil has a unique chance to lead the way. Thanks to Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social for convening us.

Pope Francis has been an important voice of the 2010s & 2020s. He has promoted a humanist vision of the global management of common goods. Laudato si is a founding text of Christian commitment to climate action, which has inspired & marked a new generation of committed people 1/2

The global carbon pricing scheme agreed on Friday at the IMO is a step forward, as it recognises the responsibility of polluters to contribute to climate damages. 1/3

Good news: Germany’s new coalition backs a strong 90% emissions cut for the EU by 2040 – in line with the EU’s own assessment of the path to net zero. Other countries – particularly France – must now rally behind it and give the Commission a mandate to communicate it. 1/2

Au lieu de se lamenter de ces turbulences, il faut saisir cette opportunité pour poser les fondements d’un multilatéralisme nouveau et respectant les valeurs de l’Europe sur les défis globaux des prochaines décennies. www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

The EU has led the fight against the climate crisis with the Green Deal. But leading means following through. A 90% 2040 target is a key step towards net zero and has broad Member State support. Not adopting it would fuel uncertainty and end up costing Europeans 2x as much. 1/3

It was to be expected that the same lobbies Greenpeace has fought for years would try to force them into bankruptcy. Big Oil is attempting this, with Energy Transfer winning a gag order requiring Greenpeace to pay $660 million for their role in the Standing Rock protests. (1/3)
