A temporary overshoot of the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target is now highly likely. Annual average global temperatures have already exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This is not only a climate emergency. It is a security one. As long as Europe depends on fossil fuel imports, it is exposed to price shocks, supply disruptions, and geopolitical pressure. In just 60 days of conflict in the Middle East, the EU's fossil fuel import bill rose by over €27 billion. That is not an energy statistic. It is a security cost. Tony Agotha, the EU's Special Envoy for Climate and Environment, works at exactly this intersection. Getting back below 1.5°C is the goal. Reducing fossil fuel dependence makes Europe more secure in the process. EU emissions are down more than 37% since 1990. GDP has grown by over 70%. In 2025, renewables generated more EU electricity than fossil fuels for the first time. Every fraction of a degree avoided still matters. Reliable. And that's the whole point.

Namibia, EU Vow Deeper Trade Ties After Windhoek Forum southernafricaeyenews.com/na… @EUinNamibia @MIRT_NAMIBIA @FinEmbWindhoek @GermanEmbassyNA @EmbPtWindhoek @EmbEspNam @eye_southern

If Europe wants to be a geopolitical actor, we need to be more strategic in our external action. At today’s Development Council, we will discuss how Europe can better align aid, trade, security, and defence partnerships with both the development needs of our partners and our own strategic interests. Global Gateway investments must focus where they can have the greatest impact, and where countries align with our interests. If a partner country supports Russia or Iran, our engagement has to remain flexible so we can realign accordingly. My press remarks ↓

Equality, participation and non-discrimination are at the heart of democracy. Yet across the world, too many LGBTIQ persons still face violence, discrimination, hate speech and stigmatisation simply for being who they are. In more than 65 countries, consensual same-sex relations remain criminalised. Where discrimination persists, democracy cannot fully thrive. The EU remains committed to defending the human rights of all LGBTIQ persons and to promoting inclusive and democratic societies for all. Read the statement by HR/VP @kajakallas: link.europa.eu/CDFdwW
