At the turn of the last century, Jean Monnet discovered Canada's pioneering spirit. He brought that spirit back to Europe. And went on to become one of the founding fathers of our Union. Today, that same spirit inspires us to explore a historic first: Canada becoming the EU’s first associate member ↓ nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nxnRBPbN…

Europe is warming at double the global rate. To become truly climate resilient, we need to adjust and learn along the way. Our European Climate Resilience Framework will help us anticipate, prepare for, and manage climate risks. By including climate resilience in policies across the Union, supporting investment, innovation and long-term growth. link.europa.eu/QfFKKh

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory. Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil. Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving. We will remain by your side for the years to come. Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade. A rules-based global order. And strong ambitions for our climate.

Europa se está calentando el doble de rápido que la media mundial y los costes asociados al cambio climático aumentan a un gran ritmo. Preparar hoy nuestras ciudades, infraestructuras y comunidades puede ahorrar a futuro entre 4 y 7€ por cada euro invertido. ¡Es hora de actuar!

EU Member States are serious about protecting the @IntlCrimCourt and a world governed by international law. In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work. The European Council has expressed its deep regret over the U.S. announcement to impose sanctions against the ICC and has urged to reverse them. The EU will use the next six months for dialogue, to find a solution and explore what more we can do to help the Court. The Sakharov Prize recognises the ICC’s vital work in giving victims of the gravest crimes a voice. The Court must remain able to pursue justice independently, free from pressure or intimidation.

I welcome the Sakharov Prize awarded to the International Criminal Court. For victims of the world's gravest crimes, justice means a voice. The @IntlCrimCourt must be free to pursue its mission, independently, and without pressure or intimidation. Europe stands firmly behind President Tomoko Akane, the Court's judges and officials, and their vital work for a world governed by rules.

We see no indication from Russia that it wants to end this war, or pursue any form of truce or peace. That's why we need to help Ukrainians to get through winter and defend their country. Ukrainians need more air defence. And we need to increase pressure on Russia to make it clear that they have to negotiate. My doorstep ahead of today’s European Council meeting ↓

Aproximadamente un tercio del presupuesto de ayuda humanitaria de la UE se destina a la lucha contra el hambre. En 2025, esa cifra superó los 622M€ destinados a ayuda alimentaria. El motivo: 266 millones de personas sufrieron inseguridad alimentaria aguda el año pasado.
