Ursula von der Leyen reaffirms EU support for Paris climate agreement at Davos

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, reaffirmed the EU's commitment to the Paris climate agreement at the World Economic Forum in Davos. This comes after US President Donald Trump's recent decision to withdraw from the accord again. Von der Leyen described the agreement as “humanity’s best hope” against climate change and emphasized the need for international cooperation. She also highlighted the importance of economic stability alongside environmental efforts. The summit has seen debates on climate policies and electric vehicles, with Greenpeace activists protesting by calling for higher taxes on the wealthy. Trump's return to office has been a major topic of discussion.
