Climate action and green transition
The next few years will – and must – bring major changes in global climate action. Our climate action and green transition team wants to contribute to ambitious, fair and effective responses to the climate crisis, promote a green COVID-19 recovery, and explore the European and African politics of green transition and renewable energy deployment.
Our work
Topics we look at include:
- Climate finance in Africa-Europe relations and international cooperation
- The geopolitics and external dimensions of EU climate, energy and green transition policies, including the European Green Deal
- Management of transboundary climate impacts – focusing on adaptation and resilience
- Locally led green transition and adaptation
