European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that Europe will continue to work with nations committed to protecting nature and combating global warming. She reiterated that the Paris Agreement remains the best hope for humanity to limit global temperature increases.

Climate activists at Davos also made their voices heard, calling for increased taxation on the super-rich to fund a just and green future.
