  • The EU should speed up its energy transition despite the fact that the shortage of Russian gas has led the bloc to burn more coal temporarily, Spanish Ecological Transition Minister Teresa Ribera stressed Monday.
  • Ribera attended a meeting of EU environment ministers in Luxembourg, where the EU-27 tried to agree on the EU bloc’s negotiating mandate for the COP27 climate summit to be held from 6-18 November in Egypt.
