The 90% emissions reduction target by 2040 can help secure Europe’s future:

🔹 €856B saved on fossil fuel imports
🔹 Energy bills cut by 2/3 for homes and businesses
🔹 2M new jobs in industries
🔹 €91B annually saved by reducing cleantech imports

The time to act is now.

[Neil Makaroff @neilmakaroff]

With its first Made-in-Europe policy, the EU is embracing economic realism and adapting itself to the new brutal global trade reality.

This is how Europeans can start learning the language of industrial powers.

Next steps: strengthening it in Parliament and Council.

[Neil Makaroff @neilmakaroff]

L’Europe se dote enfin des outils de la puissance industrielle avec une politique Made-in-Europe assumée.

C’est un retour au réalisme économique face à la brutalité du commerce mondial. Le marché unique n’est pas un supermarché qui subventionne les technologies venant de Chine.

[Neil Makaroff @neilmakaroff]

Le leadership climatique se gagne sur le terrain économique et industriel.

La Chine domine. Si les Européens veulent rester dans la course et créer les emplois et les innovations de demain, ils devront parier sur la décarbonation, couplée à une politique industrielle. #COP30

[Fondation Jean-Jaurès @j_jaures]

⚙️ L’avenir de l’Europe se joue maintenant : réarmer nos démocraties passe aussi par la décarbonation.

[Neil Makaroff @neilmakaroff]

We have a deal!

Les État-membres se sont mis d'accord sur l'objectif climatique de -90 % pour 2040.

Malgré des concessions pour réunir une majorité, l’Union européenne choisit avec, cet accord, de ne pas suivre la voie tracée de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique. 1/3

[Strategic Perspectives @StrategicEU]

Today, EU environment ministers are expected to agree on the 2040 climate target.

Why does this decision matter, and how can a strong emissions reduction goal benefit Europe’s economy, industry, and citizens?

Our Executive Director @LindaCulture explains what’s at stake👇

[Strategic Perspectives @StrategicEU]

Tonight, the European Council adopted conclusions on how to support the achievement of the EU’s intermediate climate target for 2040.

Les chefs d'État et de gouvernement donnent leur feu vert pour l'adoption de l'objectif climatique pour 2040.

Ils envoient enfin un signal clair aux entreprises et aux investisseurs : l'UE reste dans la course mondiale à la transition. #EUCO

[Linda Kalcher @LindaCulture]

Leaders crossed a major hurdle at #EUCO by adopting conclusions that confirm the 2040 #climate target contributes to competitiveness and prosperity. President Costa managed to rein in populist attempts to weaken existing climate laws or to derail the conversation entirely.

[Neil Makaroff @neilmakaroff]

Un deal est possible en #EUCO pour débloquer l’objectif climatique 2040.

La liste des garanties et conditions portée par les États est longue, mais un accord est possible.

Il ne s’agit pas de négocier le chiffre, mais le paquet politique qui va avec.

Meaningful progress on ending #gas import dependence on Russia!
Let’s ensure it won’t log us in expensive LNG imports from other countries. Decarbonising the power mix and #electrification are the way forward for energy security!

[Strategic Perspectives @StrategicEU]

EU leaders meet this week to debate competitiveness and the 2040 climate target.

In their latest blog, @LindaCulture and @neilmakaroff look at what’s on the EUCO menu, and what it means for industrial growth and energy security👇

🔎The Mediterranean’s role in the #energytransition

A new @StrategicEU report by @SaraBeneMichel shows how the New Pact for the Mediterranean & the Trans-Mediterranean Energy & Clean Tech Initiative can encourage clean energy diplomacy in the region.

[Strategic Perspectives @StrategicEU]

The EU’s new global vision on energy and climate diplomacy offers a chance to redefine its global role, linking competitiveness, resilience, and partnerships that deliver real outcomes.

El gran colapso de la industria europea no es una fatalidad.

He tenido el honor de escribir un largo artículo en el Dossier de @LaVanguardia titulado ‘Europa, la última oportunidad’. La transición neta cero podría convertirse en un plan europeo de reindustrialización.

[Strategic Perspectives @StrategicEU]

Next week’s Competitiveness Council comes at a key time for EU industrial policy.

Ministers can send a clear signal that competitiveness and climate neutrality go hand in hand if the right tools are in place.

This is a wake-up call for Europe.

#Trump claims to "love Europe" yet attacks the transition. What he really loves is to sell his oil and gas to Europeans. It's as simple as that.

Our decarbonisation is working against his fossil fuel agenda. #UNGA

[Strategic Perspectives @StrategicEU]

At the start of UNGA, a joint letter by 20 leaders signals a willingness to align efforts to achieve a just and equitable transition.

The EU's commitment is a good sign, but concrete outcomes should follow on the way to COP30 and beyond.
