EU Chief Of State Summit

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - DECEMBER 12: President of the European Council Charles Michel (L) is talking with the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (R) on the first of a two-day summit of European Union leaders on December 12, 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. During their first working session leaders will discuss climate change. The heads of State or Government are expected to finalise their guidance on the EUs long-term strategy to be submitted to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in early 2020. The focus will be on setting a target for achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The European Council will also discuss over a working dinner the EU's long-term budget, the multiannual financial framework (MFF). The discussion will be based on a negotiating box with figures prepared by the Finnish presidency, as requested by the leaders in October. (Photo by Thierry Monasse/Getty Images)
