New Alliances - New Strength? Germany and the Global South
Although the global community has long known that it must solve crises, there is a risk that the Sustainable Development Goals will not be achieved. Germany is therefore seeking partnerships in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Politician Niels Annen and analyst Amaka Anku discuss this strategy.
Whether it's more justice, affordable and clean energy or the fight against hunger, the 17 sustainability goals agreed by the international community in 2015 are still far from being achieved. As a leading industrialised country, Germany stresses its particular responsibility in achieving these goals. And since the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, the German government has been trying to strategically expand its relations with the countries of the Global South.
How can Germany work with other middle powers in Africa, Latin America and Asia to advance the Sustainable Development Goals? How can developing and emerging countries be better integrated into the global economy, and what role does Germany play in this?
To conclude the first Hamburg Sustainability Conference, we will be discussing these questions with Niels Annen, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, and Amaka Anku, Head of the Africa Portfolio at Eurasia Group.
The event will be moderated by Julia Ganter, Körber-Stiftung.
The event will be held in German and English with simultaneous translation.
