Knowledge exchange could facilitate the transfer of knowledge, technology, and expertise in climate change impact assessment and adaptation strategies while capacity Building will strengthen local skills and institutional frameworks in Africa to address climate-related challenges effectively. A joint research and innovation initiative between Europe and Africa can promote collaborative research projects focused on sustainable solutions tailored to African contexts. Finally, policy alignment between the two regions will align efforts with global frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2063. This paper  outlines the key objectives of such a collaboration and key focus areas for strengthening the collaboration and concludes with the implementation steps that will be required.
