We reached an agreement at @Cop30noBrasil.
It is not perfect, but it is a huge step in the right direction.
The EU stood united, fighting for ambition on climate action.

- This is truly excellent news for strengthening the level playing field! Industry has rightfully ask for these fundamental changes. We are delivering them quickly. Huge thanks to the @CY2026EU for all the work!The Council has agreed its position on strengthening the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism.

- We have a deal! @CY2026EU and @Europarl_EN agreed on changes to the ETS2' reserve. It will give more firepower to the MSR to stabilise prices in the future when needed, and will ensure a smoother start and operation of ETS2. This is a win for a fair and predictable transition!

- Great to touch base with Minister @DarraghOBrienTD 🇮🇪 ahead of Ireland’s EU Presidency in the second half of 2026. We discussed key climate priorities, including COP31 coordination and the ETS review.
- Glad to meet with @brewersofeurope today. Behind every beer is a European success story: 10,000 breweries, 2+ million jobs, and €52 billion added to the EU economy each year.
We discussed sustainability, competitiveness, lower energy costs, electrification, and the challenges facing brewers as they navigate a changing market. - Important to be at the #luxembourgICFDays2026 🇱🇺🇪🇺 Every year of delayed investment in climate action adds trillions to the long-term climate bill, and transfers that bill to the most vulnerable. We need to make sure we transform commitment into real action on the ground.
