Climate Action Commissioner reaffirms EU's leadership
Briefly

"I will communicate with President-elect Trump about the importance to our shared security, as their bases in the Marshall Islands of taking the climate crisis seriously. I think, as I said, the Paris Agreement is a robust process. We don't think that the election result will necessarily put a stop to the process that is underway. In the United States, states and cities that are already actively moving this process forward."
"I believe that the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement by the United States will be a retrogressive step. The United States has an obligation, a moral obligation, perhaps more so than any other, to provide leadership and climate funding to address the issue of climate change because of its historical emissions."
"They need to provide funding to clean up the mess that they created over hundreds of years. And we also need to provide funding as a form of climate justice, because at the end of the day, United States, like other large polluting countries, would have created a tort against all of humanity. And for them to walk away from their obligation, I think that is totally inappropriate."
"Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni emphasized the need to phase out fossil fuels and highlighted nuclear fusion as a potential game changer."
