Good and candid exchange with President Xi on the main challenges in a world with increasing geopolitical frictions. Managing our relations is a priority.

We agreed that we have a joint interest in balanced trade relations.

We also agreed to increase people2people exchanges.

In Beijing for the EU-China Summit.

It’s my 2nd visit to China this year and an opportunity to have open, frank discussions.

Ours is a significant but complex economic and geopolitical relationship.

The result of our talks will impact the prosperity & security of our people.

Shocked and saddened by the senseless terror attack in Paris last night.

My thoughts are with the families of the victims.

Good to touch base with 岸田文雄 on progress at COP28 UAE.

We also discussed our support to Ukraine against Russia’s war of aggression and the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Finally, we discussed the upcoming G7 Leaders VTC.

I welcome the launch of the Coal Accelerator.

It will help us identify the right policies and funding streams so we can reach our goal.

A future without coal.

The EU is ready to show the way, for a fair and fast transition.

In climate finance, we have to move from billions to trillions.

To get there, we need new sources of revenues.

New levies, green bonds and of course - carbon pricing.

And we need, more than ever, strong partnerships, like with Global Gateway.

Good to see our Climate Club growing to 36 members.

We represent over 30% of global emissions, so whatever we decide together will be a powerful vector of change.

Let’s keep working together and sharing experiences and expertise on the decarbonisation of our industries.

Dear PM Chinh, the EU has committed to mobilising significant financing to support Viet Nam towards its climate neutrality goal in 2050.

Help its emissions peak earlier.

And ensure a fair transition for the people of Viet Nam. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

This COP28 is about ambition, targets and finance.

Europe has consistently delivered on the $100 billion climate finance target.

And we help get the new Loss & Damage Fund up and running, with €25 million. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

If we want to keep global warming below the tipping point of 1.5°C we need to cut global emissions.

And there is a way to do this while fostering innovation and growth.

Put a price on carbon!

Today we are here to boost this global movement. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Climate change is the challenge of our century.

Our ambitions must match that challenge.

The EU will push for key global emissions milestones:

→ Global emissions peaking by 2025

→ Phase out of fossil fuels

→ 2030 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency
