AU - EU Research and Innovation Partnership on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Following the launch of the EU-Africa R&I Partnership on Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture in April 2016, the AU-EU High Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) on Science, Technology and Innovation identified Climate Change and Sustainable Energy as the second priority area for cooperation. A joint effort of the European and African Union Commission services, AU and EU Member States, supported by the Horizon 2020-funded Research and Innovation Network for Europe and Africa (RINEA) and thematic experts, leads to the drafting of the Roadmap for a jointly funded AU-EU Research & Innovation Partnership on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy (CCSE). This roadmap was adopted by the HLPD Senior Officials Meeting of October 2017. The partnership was officially launched by the Abidjan Summit of November 2017, thus receiving recognition at the highest level.
