[Frans Timmermans @F__Timmermans]

#COP26 must be the moment to deliver #climateaction across the world. As president @vonderleyen announced in #SOTEU the EU is ready to do more to #CloseTheGap on climate finance. We’ll work to ensure others step up too, as major economies must do this together.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

When it comes to climate change and the nature crisis, Europe can do a lot.

But we cannot do it alone. Every country has a responsibility!

Europe is ready to do more. We expect our partners to step up too, on the road to @COP26.
