Guiding questions for this second interactive Ukȧmȧ workshop (of the Ukȧmȧ: the Africa-Europe platform for sustainable development thinkers):
- How can we characterize the current state of Africa-Europe relations for energy transformation and innovation?
- What needs to change? How to ensure that the new supply chains needed for the energy transition in both continents comes with a fair distribution of value and jobs? Germany's investment needs in green hydrogen in Africa will be discussed as a case study.
