Finding a New Balance in Times of Crises: Trade and Climate Relations between Europe and Africa
Hike

Monday, 26. August
150 minutes
English
First come first serve

The EU has made commitments to support Africa in its climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. At the same time, the EU’s climate diplomacy actions could contribute to a potential slowing down of African economic growth. How can the two continents shape a relationship that advances decarbonisation without creating trade barriers, that is, a relationship that is reciprocal and fit for the challenges of the 21st century?
