Climate diplomacy: EU, China and Canada co-convene the 5th Ministerial on Climate Action (MoCA)
Today (23 March), Executive Vice President Frans Timmermans, China's Ecology and Environment Minister Huang Runqiu and Canada's Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson will co-convene the 5th session of the Ministerial on Climate Action (MoCA). The annual meeting, hosted this year by China, will be held virtually for the second time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The MoCA is the first major ministerial meeting of the year on international climate action, and will be an important stepping stone towards the COP26 in November. Discussions will focus on how to enhance global ambition on emission reductions, while supporting co-operation and solidarity between the Parties. It is also an important forum for understanding country-specific challenges and opportunities in implementing low-carbon, resilient and sustainable policies and measures in a green recovery world. Participants will include ministers from G20 countries and other key parties in the UN climate negotiations. The EU will urge its international partners to follow its commitment to net zero emissions by mid-century and undertake significant emission cuts by 2030 to put their countries on a pathway to uphold their Paris Agreement commitments.
