1/5 In our paper @AMedinil and I look at green (energy) transition. As the EU/Africa try to catch up in green tech/industrialisation, the EU arguably has a strategic interest in Africa's economic development as it seeks resource partnerships in the continent.
What is the state of play on the climate debate between EU-Africa?
Our twin papers by @PoorvaKarkare, @AMedinil and @Hanne_Tweets, @KoDekeyser analyse the status quo and make recommendations on:

#EU ambitions in and of themselves are laudable. But given that we live in a global village, perceptions matter, especially when there's talk of double standards and hypocrisy. Time for a rethink? See @ECDPM paper by @AMedinil @KoDekeyser @kar_karaki

Today 600 million Africans have no access to electricity & nearly 1 billion no access to clean cooking. Solving this requires $25 billion per year from now to 2030 – the same as building one new LNG terminal a year
