The global COVID-19 crisis has a huge impact on people, economies and our planet. As the situation unfolds, we will look at how the spread of the coronavirus affects policies and processes related to trade and investment, migration, peace and security, regional integration, climate change, food security and the private sector. We will also explore how it may affect Africa-Europe relations and development and international cooperation more broadly.
