What role does climate change play in the Sahel’s current instability? What are the best climate emergency adaptation strategies to promote in the area? What role does Europe play in the Central Sahel’s climate resilience, and what role could it play in the future? These are some of the questions examined by the study “Climate change and resilience in the Central Sahel” led by CIDOB in collaboration with the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) and the German think tank Adelphi. 

The study, which has analysed the impact of climate change in this vulnerable region for a year and a half, is part of the CASCADES project studying the cascading effects of climate change and how they may affect Europe. CASCADES, in which 12 European research centres participate, is funded by the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation programme.

The CIDOB Report “Geopolitics of health: vaccines, governance and cooperation” raises the need to include geographical factors related to health in the analysis of both the structure of the international system and the priorities and actions of an increasingly diverse range of international actors. 

A collaboration between CIDOB, ideograma and ISGlobal, this publication contributes to the debate on what kind of action is needed to overcome COVID-19 and improve international governance and post-pandemic exit and reconstruction strategies.
