The Africa-Europe Foundation (AEF) is proud to launch its Working Group (WG) on Climate Adaptation. The WG aims to facilitate a cross-continental multi-stakeholder dialogue between Africa and Europe centered on climate adaptation, and identify a set of policy recommendations, processes and ‘quick wins’ which can catalyze adaptation-related cooperation and drive forward action ahead of COP27 in Egypt.
AEF is committed to ensure the working group is multi-generational and represent a wide diversity of actors from the two continents, with experts from governments, civil society, business and academia.
Building on the outcomes of the 6th AU-EU Summit, 2022 offers an excellent opportunity for Africa and Europe to deepen their partnership on adaptation to climate change. However, to achieve this, it will be important to acknowledge at times differing priorities, and address the practical difficulties to land a partnership on climate adaptation between institutions across Europe and Africa.
The Africa-Europe Foundation Working Group on Climate Adaptation will represent a central platform to achieve the objectives listed below:
Expected outcomes of this first meeting are to outline the priority strategic focus for the Working Group in the coming months, taking into consideration the views and positioning of the different experts from Africa and Europe; build a commonality of purpose from the complexity of sometimes diverging perspectives and approaches across the field of climate adaptation in the context of the cross-continental relationship; and to work out practical things that our two continents can do together, out of shared interest.
