We are thrilled to present the insights gathered from the recent workshop, “The future of the EU as a global development actor: Building alliances with the Global South in a polycrisis world,” organized on May 10-11 in Berlin.
The workshop served as a platform for experts and thought leaders from various backgrounds to come together and delve into the challenges and opportunities presented by the evolving landscape of global development. Building upon the findings of this engaging event, the report encapsulates the collective wisdom and innovative ideas generated during the two-day session.
As we navigate the complexities of polycrisis and its impact on EU development policy, this report sheds light on pathways to address pressing issues while fostering sustainable growth and cooperation. We invite you to explore the invaluable insights shared by our diverse panel of speakers, enabling us to pave the way for a more resilient and inclusive future in the realm of global development.
This remarkable event was a collaborative effort of the Elcano Royal Institute, the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS), and the European Think Tanks Group (ETTG). We extend our gratitude to the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation, along with the BMZ, for their valuable support throughout the dialogue.
Stay tuned as we share this report and look forward to continuing the dialogue through future initiatives.
