The World Summit on Climate Action will bring together people from around the world to present climate action and inspire deeper commitments from national governments and each other in support of the Paris Agreement.
The Global Climate Action Summit will showcase the actions states and regions, cities, companies, investors and civil society have taken already to reduce their emissions; secure bold commitments to do even more, show that decarbonization; job generation and resilient economic growth go hand-in-hand and galvanize a global movement for climate action that leaves no one behind.
In the framework of the Africa-EU Partnership, the sixth AU-EU agriculture ministerial conference will be centered around strengthening the collaboration and addressing current challenges facing both Continents’ agri-food systems. The conference will discuss in depth four topics that will feed into the overall theme with a good potential for concrete EU-AU partnership.
The goal of the conference is to promote the exchange of ideas among economists conducting quantitative analysis of global economic issues. Particular emphasis will be placed on applied general equilibrium methods, data, and application.

Registrations are now open for the 2nd Commission conference on the Roadmap Towards Phasing Out Animal Testing for Chemical Safety Assessments. The conference is related to the communication from the European Commission on the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) “Save cruelty-free cosmetics – Commit to a Europe without animal testing”. In this communication, the Commission committed to develop a roadmap towards ultimately phasing out animal testing for chemical safety assessments. The roadmap will outline milestones and specific actions that would be pre-requisites for a transition towards an animal-free chemical legislation.
