Complexities and geopolitics
The workshop explores the evolving dynamics of European Union (EU)-Africa cooperation in the context of renewable energy transitions and the EU Green Deal, set against rising geopolitical tensions and internal political shifts within the EU.
This is a two-day hybrid workshop that brings together renewable energy and policy experts from Europe and Africa to discuss renewable energy development and deployment, energy policy intersections and challenges, EU-Africa interest in renewable energy, and the formation of strong EU-Africa cooperation for renewable energy transitions under the EU Green Deal.
The workshop is part of our broader project at the AIA, which aims to understand better the intricacies and geopolitics of renewable energy transitions in EU-Africa collaboration. The workshop aims to spark in-depth national and regional conversations about renewable energy policy, the EU Green Deal and renewable energy transitions, energy democracy, energy infrastructure, and power balance to support renewable energy transitions through EU-Africa collaboration. The workshop will also serve as a forum for gathering essential data and information to complete our ongoing research at the AIA.
