The Commission and the High Representative have presented last October 16 an international strategy for securing Europe’s place in global markets<\/strong>. The\u00a0new EU global climate and energy vision<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>presents the EU’s offer to the world: using diplomacy to protect our core interests, promoting standards for a fair transition by assisting our partners to develop theirs, and addressing the new security threats and challenges that endanger both European interests and those of our partners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The EU is actively contributing to the ongoing clean industrial revolution across the world. The vision adds an\u00a0external dimension to the\u00a0<\/strong>Clean Industrial Deal<\/strong>\u00a0and sets a new strategy to\u00a0strengthen existing partnerships and forging new, mutually beneficial ones<\/strong>. To fully reap the benefits of the clean transition, the EU must be the industrial powerhouse supplying and providing clean tech and adaptation solutions to countries around the world, and create new business opportunities for its own clean tech industry.<\/p>\n

As a market still dependent on fossil energy imports, renewables will remain at the heart of the EU’s clean transition. Almost half of EU electricity was generated by renewables in 2024. This significantly increases the EU’s energy independence and security. The EU has also seen an increase of 111% in the share of clean energy investments since 2015.\u00a0The vision proposes to ramp up the EU’s<\/strong>\u00a0clean technology manufacturing capacity<\/strong>\u00a0to reach 15% of the global tech market, while improving its industrial competitiveness, in line with the Clean Industrial Deal.<\/p>\n

The vision also reaffirms the EU’s commitment to a rules-based international order. The\u00a0EU’s message to global partners is clear<\/strong>: we are working to fulfil the goals set out in the Paris Agreement; we are a reliable partner that plays by the rules; and we are open for business and cooperation.<\/p>\n

The EU will\u00a0continue fostering bilateral partnerships and multilateral alliances<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 existing and new ones – at international fora and at different levels, ranging from Free Trade Agreements, to Just Energy Transition Partnerships to Green Alliances.\u00a0 In addition,\u00a0carbon pricing is crucial for achieving global climate goals<\/strong>, reducing emissions, promoting innovation, and ensuring a just and orderly transition away from fossil fuels. Major economies have recently adopted and expanded carbon pricing policies, which shows that it works.\u00a0The EU is committed to its promotion through various initiatives, including supporting other countries in developing robust carbon pricing policies through a\u00a0dedicated taskforce.<\/p>\n

The EU will continue driving robust international climate policies. This includes stronger action to address the nexus between\u00a0climate change, environmental degradation, and security and resilience\u00a0<\/strong>by engaging at multilateral (UN and NATO) and bilateral levels. It will implement the actions set out in the\u00a02023 Joint Communication on the Climate-Security Nexus\u00a0<\/strong>and continue\u00a0combatting information manipulation and disinformation on climate change<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Main actions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last October 16’s EU global climate and energy vision presents a series of\u00a0<\/strong>strategic actions\u00a0<\/strong>for global energy and climate engagement<\/strong>\u00a0to drive the clean transition, competitiveness and clean technologies and investments, including:<\/p>\n
