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 aims to contribute to ambitious, fair and effective responses to the climate crisis and explore the European and African politics of green transition, industrialisation 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
