The 2025 CELAC-EU Presidential Summit, positioned between the UNFCCC COP30 Leaders segment and COP30 itself, is a key opportunity to redefine bi-regional cooperation on the basis of shared rules, mutual accountability, and multilateral action. EU-Latin American and Caribbean relations have historically been shaped by colonial legacies, unequal trade, and structural dependencies. This Summit can establish a new partnership model —one that strengthens both multilateralism, and accelerates a just energy transition in both regions.
CELAC and EU Leaders must now show vision, accountability, and leadership that deliver hope for people and the planet.
