Today, we launched the Planetary Health Check 2026. Seven of nine Planetary Boundaries are transgressed, and pressure on all seven is at its highest recorded level.
Yet, we still have a window to change course. But we need to move fast.

Turns out 2026 officially was the hottest summer ever recorded in Western Europe. We’ve seen droughts, heat deaths, dry rivers. This will become more common. Cities and farmers must adapt to an uncomfortable new normal. Source: eu1.hubs.ly/H0y9-bG0
Supporting @UNCCD @Cop17Mongolia Presidency has been an honnor and a priviledge. Delighted to be part of this wonderful team to advance progress on the critical issues of desertification, land degradation and drought

Super El Nino 2026: Today in the Ocean, Tomorrow on Our Land
==> There are no longer forecasts, models, or expectations... This is now reality.
==> Ocean temperatures in the key El Nino monitoring region (Nino 3.4) have set new records for a full month straight and are currently running about 2°C above average the established threshold for a Super El Nino. Sea surface temperatures in the Nino 3.4 region are approaching 30°C.
==> It stands out dramatically against all historical data.
==> This Super El Nino is developing far faster than any expectations. We are on track to experience the strongest El Nino ever recorded on Earth.
==> This is not meant to cause panic, but to urge immediate proactive measures to face the unfolding climate emergency worldwide. The next 12 to 15 months will be extremely challenging for every nation — developed, developing, or least developed. Mother Nature will show no mercy on anyone.

When we launched Global Gateway for Africa, we aimed to invest €150 billion in the continent.
4 years on, we’re well on track to exceed that goal.
With 120 billion of investments for Africa. And more coming.
