Europe delivers.
We are committed to becoming the first climate neutral continent.
We’re speeding up electrification.
And we remain the largest provider of climate finance globally.
Because the clean transition can only succeed if it succeeds worldwide.

Day one of COP31.
Cities are on the frontlines of the climate crisis – from protecting neighbourhoods from fires and flooding, to cutting emissions and building new sustainable housing.
That's why I'm at COP31: to share London's experiences, hear what’s working in other cities and make the case for city leaders to have a stronger voice in shaping the future.
National security is the next frontier of the fight for climate action. The scenarios once of science fiction are now regular occurrences across the world.
We should be clear that climate breakdown is one of the greatest national security threats we face: food security, threats to infrastructure and population movements.
Those who seek to stick their hands in the sand when it comes to climate action are putting our national security at risk.
Alongside this, a new era of global insecurity means fossil fuel shocks are now the norm. The fossil fuel rollercoaster is here to stay.
Countries, first Russia, now Iran, next others, have identified global chokepoints and systemic over-reliance and the vulnerability in countries around the world that they expose.
The only answer to these challenges is to double down on the global fight for climate action.
2027 will be the year of climate fightback, as governments, movements, and communities across the world step up to defend our shared home.
Today, I introduced the Protecting Our Public Lands from Data Centers Act, a bill dedicated to every Oregonian who called my office and spoke out.
This administration wants to sell our public lands to the highest bidder for destructive data centers, but I refuse to stand by. I will keep fighting to protect these lands and keep them in public hands for generations to come.
First is that we will fail on climate, plain and simple, if pollute-for-free persists as fossil fuel’s business model. That industry offloading trillions in harm to humankind is wrong, morally and economically. It’s now also lethal to climate safety.
Once again, I will be the only Senator going to the COP. There’s a lot to be said and done about climate, but my message in Antalya will focus on the three key essentials for climate safety. 🧵
Should I open the window to protect my children from the toxic air caused by my gas stove?
Or should I close the window to protect my children from the toxic air caused by the wildfires?
A parent's dilemma in the age of climate chaos, brought to you by Big Oil & Gas.
NEW STUDY: Air pollution, namely nitrogen dioxide exposure, is linked to uterine cancer.
NO2 is emitted by tailpipes, gas-fired power plants, and the gas stove in your kitchen.
Air pollution is another name for fossil fuel combustion byproducts. And it kills people.
Forget the culture wars. This is about health. @GovKathyHochul please sign the Healthy Homes Act into law. Give people the information they need to live healthy lives. https://t.co/VVQugwVRLp
Choice words from a gas exec in emails foiaed by by @ccspatz confirmed the hunch: the gas industry was worried about the public turning against the gas stove https://t.co/zP11I3SYDT
Not a good look when you send a scientist for hire who has defended the tobacco industry among other problematic clients. Moral of the story is facts can’t be bought. Well done @nytimes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

🆕 from @HirokoTabuchi@nytimes:
@stanforddoerr researchers measure gas stove pollution in NYC apartments. NO2 levels are super high & spreads quickly to other rooms, like bedrooms. We know how to reduce NO2 with clean ⚡️ stoves! #ProtectOurAir

Not only is the world on course for its hottest year on record, but scientists say the rate of warming is getting faster than ever before. We cannot ignore this terrifying reality.
So as global leaders convene at COP31 in Türkiye this week, I urge our government to reject Rosebank, hold firm on current EV targets and reverse cuts to our climate aid commitments.
The UK simply cannot claim climate leadership while approving new oil and gas fields, weakening financial commitments or watering down decarbonisation targets.
I never make a key climate intervention without consulting with a group of scientists first, to make sure my remarks are informed by the latest scientific evidence.
I thank the climate scientists who shared their insights with me today, ahead of tomorrow's #COP31 Leaders' Summit.
Happy Veteran's Day. Many vets have higher rates of deployment related asthma. Nitrogen dioxide from gas stoves aggravates that condition. Most people are unaware. @GovKathyHochul give vets the information they need. Sign S1280b https://t.co/0cKcmSF9uS
Check out what @NatGeo has to say about the health dangers of gas stoves. @GovKathyHochul sign the S1280b - there is no reason not to give the public information to make healthy choices. @nynurses@UCSUSA@MothersOutFront https://t.co/HKD0FiAZ84
For the disabled community understanding the emissions from gas stoves may be doubly important. @Hochul sign the Healthy HomesRight to Know Act (S1280b) https://t.co/RrYTJMqBSE
