The world just adopted a historic decision at #COP28 to set in motion an irreversible, accelerated transition away from fossil fuels. With that, we have achieved what we set out to do: keep 1.5 within reach and mark the beginning of the end of fossil fuels.

Very good to meet and speak again with Minister @MarinaSilva 🇧🇷at #G7 . Brazil is a key climate partner of the EU, elevating Climate Action as a top priority for the upcoming @G20org and hosting COP30. Looking forward to intensifying our cooperation to achieve ambitious results.

These chilling facts serve as a stark reminder, especially on #EarthDay 🌍, to remain committed to climate action and our targets in Europe and abroad. 2023 was a record-shattering climate year for 🇪🇺. Climate change consequences affect us all.

Today, we, the G7 Leaders, condemned Iran's unprecedented attack against Israel in the strongest terms. We express our solidarity and support to the people of Israel. And reaffirm our commitment towards its security. We'll continue to work to stabilize the situation.

I strongly condemn Iran‘s blatant and unjustifiable attack on Israel. And I call on Iran and its proxies to immediately cease these attacks. All actors must now refrain from further escalation and work to restore stability in the region.
