In line with the European Union (EU) 's goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the European Commission introduced a new external energy strategy as part of the REPowerEU plan in April 2022. The strategy focuses on preferred partnerships with potential exporting countries to ensure a stable supply of renewable energy imports and enable 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen imports annually by 2030.
The Briefing evaluates the strategy's alignment with Policy Coherence for Development by assessing its support for African partner countries to achieve their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), analysing partnership agreements with Namibia and Egypt, as well as considering Africa's energy transition status and uncertainties in the global renewable hydrogen trade.
