This year's ongoing UN climate conference in Katowice runs until 14 December and will be a key moment for the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Three years after the Paris Agreement was adopted, the EU hopes that all parties in Katowice will show the commitment and determination necessary to secure an ambitious and comprehensive work programme that covers all key areas including transparency, finance, mitigation and adaptation.

This will enable and encourage climate action at all levels and demonstrate global commitment. The EU will be represented at the COP24 climate negotiations by the chief climate negotiator Miguel Arias Cañete and Austrian Sustainability and Tourism Minister Elisabeth Köstinger. COP24 will bring together heads of state and government in a Leaders' Segment where the Commission will be represented by Energy Union Vice President Maroš Šefčovič.

He will also participate at the Global Climate Action Agenda focused on non-state actors' commitments. Commissioner for transport, Violeta Bulc will open the event ‘Urban Mobility Solutions to Tackle Climate Change' at Transport Day 2018.

Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs Commissioner Elżbieta Bieńkowska will attend the event 'The global reach of Europe's Copernicus Climate Change Service'.

The Commission this week presented a long-term strategic vision for the modernization of the European industry and economy aiming to make the EU climate neutral by 2050. The Commission will present the strategy to our global partners at COP24, and looks forward to kick-starting an EU-wide debate on its long-term strategy and submit it to the UNFCCC by 2020.
