On 18 November 2025 in the margins of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting, Wopke Hoekstra, European Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth, attended the EU coordination meeting in Belém, Brazil.

The EU coordination meeting was essentially a preparatory and strategic session to align EU members on key climate objectives, strengthen collective positions, and ensure coordinated action and messaging during the official COP30 negotiations — particularly around keeping the 1.5 °C goal alive, scaling up adaptation and finance, and promoting an equitable transition to a climate-neutral economy.
