PolyCIVIS Issues Dakar Communiqué to Strengthen Europe-Africa Climate Cooperation
The PolyCIVIS Alliance has released the Dakar Communiqué, a key outcome of the PolyCIVIS Agora Forum held in Dakar, Senegal, on April 23, 2025. The high-level forum brought together academics, practitioners, civil society representatives, and policymakers to address the theme “Strengthening Europe-Africa Cooperation on Climate, Environment, and Energy Transition in a Polycrisis Era.”
The Dakar Communiqué captures the main insights, recommendations, and shared priorities that emerged from the discussions. It forms part of PolyCIVIS’ ongoing policy work, which also includes a series of Policy Briefs designed to inform decision-making and foster equitable Euro-African cooperation in climate governance and environmental resilience.
PolyCIVIS is a network of 21 European and African universities committed to advancing dialogue, research, education, and action on pressing global challenges, with a strong focus on climate and environmental crises. The initiative is co-funded by the European Union as a Jean Monnet network.
