Moving Europe and Africa towards more Common Ground on Climate and Energy
Ahead of COP28, the AU-EU partnership can help drive forward the global climate change and energy transition agendas.

African and European representatives should avoid the trap of ‘policy signalling’ or ideal-type solutions, and expedite results on climate finance, energy and industrialisation, as well as communicate more effectively on their progress.
