Climate Resilience, Food Security and Economic Stability: A Europe-Africa Dialogue on the Road to COP32

With COP32 coming to Ethiopia in 2027, this dialogue brings together senior African and European leaders to explore how both continents can collaborate on resilience, food security, and sustainable development. Discussions will focus on the EU’s next Multiannual Financial Framework, Africa’s role in the green transition, and opportunities for deeper political and economic cooperation.

This high-level dialogue, jointly hosted by ODI Global and the World Resources Institute during London Climate Action Week, will bring together senior African and European policymakers, experts and thought leaders to explore how both continents can work together more effectively on adaptation, resilience, trade, investment and sustainable development.

The discussion will examine how Africa–Europe partnerships can help strengthen climate resilience, food systems and economic stability in an increasingly complex global context, while shaping a more ambitious and equitable agenda ahead of COP32.
