❄️ Why do severe winter storms still occur in a warming climate?
🌀 Polar vortex shifts
💧 More atmospheric moisture
⚖️ Competing effects
Understanding this complexity strengthens forecasting, early warnings, & preparedness.

Kanadský premiér Mark Carney v Davosu: "V roce 1978 napsal český disident Václav Havel, později prezident, esej nazvanou Moc bezmocných, ve které položil jednoduchou otázku: Jak se komunistický systém udržel při životě? A jeho odpověď začínala u zelináře. Každé ráno umístí prodavač do výlohy ceduli s nápisem "Proletáři všech zemí, spojte se!" Sám tomu nevěří. Nikdo tomu nevěří. Ale ceduli tam dává stejně, aby se vyhnul problémům, aby ukázal poslušnost, aby vycházel s ostatními. A protože každý obchodník na každé ulici dělá totéž, systém přetrvává, ne jen násilím, ale účastí obyčejných lidí na rituálech, o kterých soukromě vědí, že jsou falešné. Havel tomu říkal "žít ve lži". Síla systému nepramení z pravdy, ale z ochoty všech chovat se, jako by pravdivý byl. A jeho křehkost má stejný zdroj. Když i jediný člověk přestane hrát svou roli, když zelinář sundá svůj nápis, iluze začne praskat. Přátelé, je čas, aby firmy a země sundaly své cedule."

Arctic security remains a key priority for the European Union, and one in which we seek to work with allies and partners.
Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law.
These principles are essential not only for the European Union, but for nations around the world.
We stand in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland.

Met with the Reflection Group on Climate Resilience Financing as they presented their final recommendations. Their message is clear: building a climate-resilient Europe requires action from all of us — governments, businesses and investors.
Thanks for your work!

At COP30, we have secured an agreement that recognises the need to keep the 1.5C limit of global average temperatures within reach, and to transition away from fossil fuels.
In the fight against climate change, we stand by science, multilateralism & global cooperation. ↓

The climate crisis won’t wait — and neither will we.
EU countries have agreed on a new, ambitious climate commitment under the Paris Agreement.
At #COP30 in Brazil, Europe stands united, delivering on its climate promises ↓

Belém must be the COP that delivers.
Delivers on tripling renewables & doubling energy efficiency by 2030.
Delivers for the countries vulnerable to climate change.
Delivers robust climate finance and carbon pricing.
Europe will play its part ↓ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1dRJZaXlA…

The EU’s commitment to climate action is unwavering—we are the world’s largest donor of climate financing, and we have just set an ambitious #NDC for 2035 and agreed on a binding 90% reduction in emissions by 2040. But we cannot do it alone. This is the time to act together for a sustainable and just future for all.

thank you @AlMastantuono @EUROPEUMBxl for invitation to the debate. I hope I managed to convince the audience that choosing between climate action and competitiveness is a false choice and we have to work on both at the same time! #2040 #ECL #ParisAgreement #COP30

The #EUCO just held an in-depth discussion on how to make sure that Europe’s climate ambitions and the competitiveness of our economy go hand in hand.
We reaffirmed our commitment to the Paris Agreement and stressed that we need to be pragmatic and flexible in our strategy.
Ensuring it works for people, protects our planet and fosters our prosperity. Investing in clean tech to keep Europe ahead in the global race.

Předvídatelnost, stabilita a ochrana pro nízkopříjmové domácnosti.
Komise navrhla členským státům úpravy systému ETS 2. Stávající ochranné mechanismy ještě posílí, aby se cena povolenky za tunu CO2 držela kolem 45 eur. Opatření na Radě předložil komisař pro klima @WBHoekstra.👇

The Paris Agreement is making a difference. Yet, ambition must rise. This was discussed at an EU-SA event on NDCs yesterday.
The EU is committed to its partnership with South Africa for ambitious climate action. Together towards a sustainable future!

📣 Today, we are proposing to reduce the EU's emissions by 90% by 2040.
This is a significant milestone on our road to net zero by 2050. ⬇️

European citizens are feeling the impact of climate change.
Today we will show that we stand firmly by our commitment to net zero by 2050.
Stay tuned ↓
