Mitsotakis concluded by stating that Europe must continue its leadership in global climate action. “We must do more to ensure this journey continues uninterrupted and without leaving anyone behind,” he said. His remarks signal a continued push for inclusive and sustainable policies as Europe strives toward a greener future.
