Towards greater synergies between Aid for Trade and Climate Finance frameworks for inclusive and sustainable development
Date: 29 July 2022, 08:30-09:30 CEST
Online
About the Event
Developing and least developed countries consider trade as critical to their economic growth and development, and Aid for Trade as an important means to build their trade-related capacity building needs. At the same time, they are the worst affected by climate change, while being the less pollutants. Impacts of climate change are visible including on the trade of many developing countries and LDCs. But they have limited means to adapt and mitigate, and hence need substantial climate finance assistance.

Aid for Trade Global Review 2022
Date: 27-29 July 2022
Hybrid, Geneva
Background
This year’s Global Review takes place against the backdrop of overlapping crises. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to exert a toll on human health and cause turmoil in global trade. Economies everywhere face inflationary pressures with high food and energy prices hitting poor people hardest – and placing additional pressures on hard-pressed public budgets. These pressures are further exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and food security concerns that it has caused. Trade continues to play an important role as a driver not just of economic recovery, but also poverty alleviation and women's economic empowerment. Trade is also an integral part of the transition to low-carbon models of growth and a just climate transition.

Europe and Africa in a time of crisis
Date: 27 June 2022, 13:30 (CEST)
Hybrid, Addis Ababa
Only a few months after the African Union (AU)–European Union (EU) Summit in Brussels, the partnership is being tested. The EU’s Strategic Compass seeks a more ambitious and capable security sector in the face of evolving threats. And AU reforms aim to better position the body to deal with new challenges.
In this context, what is the value-add of the EU–AU partnership? How do we prevent marginal differences from affecting our ability to jointly respond to global cross-border challenges? And how do we enlist other strategic partners?
