Good discussion this morning at COP30 on trade and climate. As new initiatives emerge – including the Integrated Forum on Climate and Trade – we need clearer evidence, stronger regional voices, and real alignment between climate and trade rules. Philanthropy has a role to play.

I felt a deep joy hearing that social justice is returning to the COP space. It must stay — it’s our moral compass. Today’s conversation on the Global Ethical Stocktake at #COP30 reaffirmed that

Great to join the opening of the Global Climate Action Agenda at COP30. A decade on from Paris, the Action Agenda has mobilised cities, investors, and businesses at scale. The next decade must see a more focused and accountable phase of delivery, guided by the Global Stocktake

At the @wemeanbusiness.bsky.social pavilion today with The B Team and Exponential Road Initiaitive, I joined business and policy leaders to discuss how we can unlock exponential tipping points – moments when innovation, investment, and policy combine to accelerate systemic change. #COP30 1/4

A few photos from a great meeting:

At Global Citizen NOW in New York: making the case that solidarity levies on premium flyers are fair, feasible, and transformative. A coalition of the willing could raise up to $90bn a year for climate resilience and just transitions. @glblctzn.bsky.social

Great discussion at @harvard.edu with Arunabha Ghosh, Adnan Amin and Joseph Aldy. I underlined that the Paris Agreement remains the backbone of climate cooperation. In this volatile moment, Europe must defend it - with strong 2035 and 2040 targets and coalition-building.

Want real European security? Cut fossil fuel imports. Clean, local renewables = independence, jobs, lower bills. In 2024, renewables made up 47% of EU electricity. We’re nearly halfway there. 6/9

The 2040 target gives businesses what they crave: certainty. It’s a green light for transition planning. The Clean Industrial Deal is how we deliver – and how we implement Draghi’s vision. 5/9

Europe is becoming a magnet for climate talent. Scientists and innovators are moving here – from the US to France! Why? Because we’re serious about the future. 4/9

In a world rocked by war and uncertainty, the EU’s new 2040 climate target is a beacon of stability. 🎯 90% GHG reduction by 2040. This is Europe saying: we keep our promises. (1/9)

Insurers are the canary in the coal mine of escalating climate risks. If risks are becoming unmanageable, speak out – as you did when you were key allies in securing the Paris Agreement. Great discussion with Nick Mabey and Keith Tuffley at #CIF25 during London Climate Action Week.

An honour to join local leaders worldwide to mark 10 years of the Paris Agreement. To speed up delivery in the next 10, we must empower those closest to communities. As COP30 host, Brazil has a unique chance to lead the way. Thanks to Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social for convening us.

Il faut qu'on se redéfinisse, qu'on revoie nos alliances et ce qui nous lie. La COP30 est l'occasion de reconstruire le multilateralisme. Grand plaisir de discuter des enjeux de l'action climatique mondiale avec Emmanuel Guérin, Josep Borrell, Gilles Gressani, @grandcontinent.bsky.social.

Great discussion on how Europe can be more prosperous and stand on its own two feet. #WEC2025 Stability and steadiness are crucial for Europe to be credible in the face of crisis. Staying the course on our climate commitments is good for business.
