Metsola: EU must step up climate action after 'disastrous' summer

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola stated that the EU must intensify climate action following a 'disastrous' summer, and expects climate change to be a major theme in the upcoming State of the Union address. This signals a political push for more ambitious EU climate policy, though specific measures remain unspecified. The statement reflects growing political pressure ahead of the address, but its market impact is indirect.
