An orange firefighting helicopter is releasing a large stream of water over a forested mountainous area under a blue sky with clouds. The text "State of the Union 2025" appears in the top left corner, and "#SOTEU" with the EU flag is in the bottom right corner.

Climate change is making each summer harsher and more dangerous.

We are radically stepping up climate resilience efforts, and we also need tools to respond when disaster strikes.

This is why we will propose a new European firefighting hub. We know the difference EU cooperation makes.

Europe’s independence is about protecting our freedoms. And free press is the backbone of democracy.

We will launch a Media Resilience Programme to support journalism and media literacy.

And keep backing independent and local media - because corruption happens in the dark.

This is a budget for the realities of today, as well as the challenges of tomorrow.

Today we present our proposal.

Now we continue the work, with the European Parliament, Member States, with citizens and businesses.
