2 - We need to be better prepared.
I fully support the G7 Pact for Pandemic Readiness to enhance global health surveillance.

Discussed the fight against COVID.
Two takeaways:
1 - local vaccine production capacity is key.
#TeamEurope
invests €1 billion in Africa for this and supports Latin American partners.
We repurposed €300 million of EU funds, from vaccine purchase to support for vaccination.

Discussion with our G7 partners on climate and health.
Climate change affects us all. So we must maintain our ambitious climate goals. This requires close, inclusive international coordination.
Renewables will play a key role in ensuring both ambition and security of supply.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 are stepping up cooperation on energy security.
We work hand in hand to diversify Europe’s supply and stay the course on our joint climate neutrality goal.
We will also explore ways to further cut Russia’s revenues from energy, used to fund its war on Ukraine.
