A political and international focus on climate and health is a unique chance for Africa and Europe to build a partnership aimed at equitable economic development. Given the centrality of both of these areas to the future of both continents, a successful partnership will help address growing issues such as job creation and youth unemployment, as well as supporting a just Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The event was organised jointly by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships and the Africa-Europe Foundation (AEF). Hosted in Brussels (Belgium), the dialogue sought to strengthen the Africa-EU partnership through constructive interactions on young people’s views and objectives around the topic of sustainable finance.
