Le monde traverse actuellement sa plus importante crise énergétique depuis la crise pétrolière de 1973. La guerre en Ukraine a exacerbé les marchés de l'énergie, avec des prix de l'énergie qui montent en flèche et nuisent aux économies et aux citoyens du monde entier. L'Europe a été durement touchée par cette crise en raison de sa dépendance à l'égard des combustibles fossiles russes et par conséquence, a tourné son regard vers de nouveaux fournisseurs, au premier rang desquels figurent les producteurs de gaz africains. Est-ce que l’Afrique peut réellement fournir des alternatives aux combustibles fossiles russes ? Quels enjeux et défis de l’approvisionnement de gaz naturel africain en Europe ?

Dans cet épisode d’Africafé, Hamza M’jahed, Spécialiste en relations internationales au Policy Center for the New South, analyse les réponses de l’Union européenne au sujet de la crise énergétique et la stratégie adoptée pour un approvisionnement en gaz sécurisé, ainsi que les enjeux et les défis que l’Afrique doit relever pour devenir un fournisseur pérenne d’énergie.

    The 2021 German federal election brought about a historic reshuffle of the political parties’ hierarchy in Europe’s biggest economy. The Social Democratic Party are back in control of the Chancellery for the first time since 2005, as part of a three-party coalition at the federal level with the Greens and the Liberals, a first in Germany’s post-war history. Now, the federal government has turned its gaze towards its founding mission: more progress. The first 100 days of the three-pa ...

    The European Commission recently presented several legislative proposals as part of its “Fit for 55” initiative, designed to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. A Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been proposed as part of this initiative. The CBAM would be complementary to the EU’s Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), involving CBAM certificates issued to importers based on the integrated emissions intensity of the produc ...

    The EU’s Carbon Border Tax is Likely to do More Harm than Good
    Authors
    Uri Dadush
    June 30, 2021
    The EU's proposed carbon border tax is well intentioned. It is motivated by climate concerns, not by protectionism. However, the tax is based on the false premise of carbon leakage, and its implementation is rife with practical difficulties. Moreover, the tax, as proposed, departs from the Paris agreement principle of differentiated responsibilities, and will be challenged by developing countries. The United States is not ready to adopt carbon taxes, either. The WTO, already in a fr ...

    West Africa has always played an essential role in African geopolitics. Although less thought of than north, south and east Africa, because of their envied strategic openings into both the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean, West African countries are transforming themselves into a major African hub. For Britain, the completion of Brexit heralds a new era in its contemporary history. In this framework, West Africa is a crucial region for the United Kingdom’s long-term strategic goal ...
