Mediterranean Think Tank Alliance on Climate Change
From
Afaf Zarkik, Senior Economist, will participate in the first workshop of the Mediterranean Think Tank Alliance on Climate Change in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Mediterranean Think Tank Alliance on Climate Change is a network that aims to unite Think Tanks from and/or focusing on the Mediterranean regions to address climate challenges facing the Mediterranean by fostering research, policy development, and advocacy efforts.
This workshop will be used to contribute to constructing the alliance's foundation, ensuring that it reflects all parties' collective vision and objectives.
This workshop is primarily intended to operationalize the Alliance's working structures and advance substantive discussions on key thematic priority areas, with some potential to exchange in person with Mediterranean officials.
Senior economist Afaf Zarkik will co-moderate a working session on “Means of Implementation, including (inter alia) Finance, Capacity Building and Technology Transfer”. Afaf will also share a presentation of the African Union as a principal political actor in the session: “From think-tank to policy: The Alliance’s approach to the knowledge-policy interface".
