Cape Town, South Africa
This conference is part of the research partnership between AFD and the European Union. Between 2017 and 2021, the first phase of the EU-AFD Research Facility on Inequalities developed more than 20 policy-oriented research projects in over 30 countries aiming to identify drivers, trends, and policy levers for addressing inequality.
In its second phase, it focuses on four countries – South Africa, Colombia, Indonesia, and Mexico – to study the interactions between inequality, environmental change, and sustainability, with the aim of supporting governments in designing policy actions to meet these interdependent challenges.
The conference is a collaboration between the South African Presidency, the European Commission, the Agence Française de Développement, and the African Centre of Excellence for Inequality Research hosted by the University of Cape Town.
- Day 1 of the conference showcases research on the strategic dilemmas that appear when designing long-term development trajectories that are both ecologically and socially sustainable.
- Day 2 engages high-level government officials and practitioners especially from the Global South to deliberate on specific and meaningful concessions aimed at shaping policy solutions.
