At the same time, they can help build African countries' trust in Europe. But only if new regulation, such as the one we are now seeing from the EU, is followed up with targeted efforts to help countries meet value chain requirements.

    New EU requirements for sustainability in value chains risk undermining prospects of green transition and trust between the EU and Africa

    New EU requirements for sustainability in value chains serve as an essential tool for securing financial streams towards the green transition in the Global South. At the same time, it can help build trust between Africa and Europe. However, this can only happen if the new regulations, as the ones we are now seeing from the EU, are followed by targeted efforts to help countries meet value chain requirements.

    Climate action is central to tackling the Syrian refugee crisis

    Climate change is increasingly seen as a conflict driver in the most vulnerable and fragile countries of the Global South. Indeed, the Syrian conflict has been assessed as conceivably the first conflict where it has been demonstrated with relative certainty that repeated and prolonged droughts over a short period of years laid the ground for economic collapse in - and internal migration from - rural areas towards the major cities, and that this migration subsequently contributed to internal social unrest and conflict in Syria.
