Dialogue on Climate Finance in the EU-North Africa Partnership

October 15, 2024 - October 16, 2024

We were honoured to host a high-level dialogue on Climate Finance in the EU-North Africa Partnership, with Policy Center for the New South and ECDPM in Rabat. It featured North-African and European policy makers, researchers, CSO and private sector representatives.

Some of the key takeaways include:

  • The critical need for innovative financing mechanisms to support North Africa’s green transition, with particular emphasis on blended finance solutions and private sector engagement
  • Exploring synergies between adaptation and mitigation strategies while advancing broader socio-economic goals in the region
  • The importance of addressing local needs and conditions in climate finance instruments, particularly through the Global Gateway Initiative

Particularly insightful discussions also emerged around:

  • Strengthening EU-North Africa cooperation beyond geopolitical considerations
  • Innovative approaches to scaling up locally-led climate projects
  • The role of central banks in addressing climate change
  • Integration of climate solutions with migration, employment, and industrial policies

We extend our gratitude to distinguished speakers including:

Karim El Aynaoui, Executive President, PCNS, San Bilal, Director, ECDPM
Rachida Aoulad Ali, Ministry of Finance, Laury Haytayan Hyatan, MENA Director, NRGI, Khaled KADDOUR, Former Minister of Energy of Tunisia, Matilde Ceravolo, EU delegation to Morocco.
