Join the debate: How can local climate and energy action fight inequality?

At first glance, climate change and inequality might seem like two separate issues. And yet, when you look at how certain urban areas are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, the link with inequality becomes obvious.

Join our debate on local climate and energy action to fight inequalities in Sub-Saharan Africa in Brussels, Belgium, during the European Development Days on 18 June.

Discover how African local governments, such as the city of Dakar, in Senegal, or Kasese, In Uganda, are taking effective climate action to fight inequality.
