The European Union will increase its financial support to help poorer countries fight climate change and adapt to its impact, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a speech on the state of the EU in the European Parliament’s plenary on Wednesday. Strasbourg.

“We will now propose an additional € 4 billion to fund the fight against climate change by 2027,” von der Leyen said, adding that the EU expects the United States and other countries to step up their promises as well.
