True leadership means showing up, from day one, for the whole package of #COP30 justice outcomes and not hiding behind trade-offs. So far, EU has not shown this true leadership.
The EU must step up its game to become the climate leader it claims to be. The clock is ticking, but it is not too late.

Last night's #EUCO was a key moment to shape the path towards the proposed 90% #2040Target
While still insufficient, this target brings opportunity to strengthen EU competitiveness.
Environment ministers must now adopt at least 90% net reductions by 2040 and submit the #NDC ahead of #COP30.
