Finding a New Balance in Times of Crises: Trade and Climate Relations between Europe and Africa
English 90

At the same time, the EU’s climate diplomacy actions could contribute to a potential slowing down of African economic growth. How can the two continents shape a relationship that advances decarbonisation without creating trade barriers, that is, a relationship that is reciprocal and fit for the challenges of the 21st century?
