Abstract

The chapter explores the challenges and opportunities shaping Africa–Europe relationships within the current VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) global context. It argues that the interconnected and interdependent nature of the two continents necessitates renewed, equitable, and strategic collaboration to address shared global challenges such as climate change, economic crises, and migration. The text hypothesizes that a genuine partnership grounded in mutual respect, equality, and shared values can move beyond traditional donor–recipient dynamics. It emphasizes the potential of Africa’s untapped resources, youthful population, and Europe’s historical advantages to foster sustainable development. Key areas for cooperation include green growth, education, trade, peace, and security. The chapter concludes that fostering political, economic, and cultural ties through a joint vision and robust multilateral engagement is critical for navigating geopolitical shifts and achieving global resilience.
