Abstract
This chapter outlines the main mechanisms through which the EU pursues its external environmental objectives in Africa, namely, high-level political dialogue in the form of the Joint Africa-EU Strategy, capacity building through development projects and programmes and manipulating utility calculations in the Economic Partnership Agreements. The chapter demonstrates that the environment and climate change have become more central in EU-Africa relations over the last decade. However, the EU’s attempts at pursuing its external environmental policies through high-level political dialogue have been constrained by many of the same weaknesses that undermine its wider relationship with Africa. On the other hand, capacity building appears to have been relatively successful, especially when in line with African initiatives and priorities.
