This week I was in Reykjavík for the Arctic Circle Assembly, the last stop before we finalise the EU’s new Arctic Strategy.
The Arctic is where geopolitics, security, climate change and economic interests meet. https://t.co/RMAyoWYgnD#Arctic#Geopolitics#ClimateChange#IS#EU
Climate crisis is also water crisis
This is river Morava at Czech/Slovak/Austria border close to its entering of river Danube.
I live there since 1980, but it was never so low. It seems you can almost cross it by walking.
Unprecedented. (Sent by my mother yesterday) https://t.co/U0j41B7AY3#ClimateCrisis#WaterScarcity#Sustainability#CZ#SK#AT

As already predicted, expect (much) warmer winter in Europe than "normal". Also expect much lower harvest next year. #HiverChaud#Climat#Agriculture#EU

The Arctic is changing fast. We are stepping up our engagement with the EU's new Arctic Strategy.
And we do that together with our partners. Consultations with them on the main objectives of our upcoming Strategy were one of my main priorities over the past weeks. https://t.co/4XkKIPc8Tc#ArcticStrategy#ClimateChange#EUpartnership#EU
The urgency is obvious. This year, fires have burnt 668,000 hectares across Europe. Drought stopped power plants. Heat killed tens of thousands.

Evropský parlament schválil revizi systému emisních povolenek, která zvyšuje hranici pro likvidaci přebytečných povolenek na 650 milionů, avšak dopad této změny na ceny povolenek zůstává sporný. #emisnípovolenky#Evropskýparlament#climatemitigation
Number of "summer" days (+25°C Tmax) has almost doubled in Paris. Warming has accelerated.
Records go back to 1872 - but the real record holds for much longer than that - likely for millenia. #ClimateChange#Paris#GlobalWarming#FR

Thank you @PetteriOrpo for bringing Europe's leaders to the Arctic Circle to talk about the Arctic. 🇫🇮🇪🇺
Climate is warming the fastest here. New trade routes are opening. Competition for critical raw materials is intensifying. And Russia remains a permanent threat. https://t.co/kzMfpHEzCj#ArcticDialogue#ClimateChange#Geopolitics#FI#EU#RU
