The Cyprus presidency, guided by our motto “An autonomous Europe, open to the world”, has delivered tangible progress on the EU’s climate and environment agenda, balancing ambition with competitiveness, and reinforcing the EU’s capacity to respond effectively to environmental challenges while strengthening its global leadership in key international processes. A thriving economy, environmental stewardship and climate neutrality are complementary pillars, essential for a prosperous future for all Europeans.
