• Feminism, free trade and political promotion. How can a German Feminist Trade Policy contribute to fair North-South trade? [DE/ENG]

With:

• Dr. Christoph Hoffmann, Member of the German Bundestag
• Lebohang Liepollo Pheko, Trade Collective Think Tank, South Africa

• Grabbing the Sunshine? Perspectives of a just hydrogen transition in the context of Germany's bilateral energy partnerships [DE/ENG]
  Together with representatives from civil society, experts from the Global South in the field of energy transition and German decision makers, we want to critically examine the complex web of relations between Africa and Germany in the context of energy transition.

With:

• Emanuele Bianco, International Renewable Energy Agency
• Anton Hufnagl, German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action

08.06.2023, 5.00 - 7.00 pm (CEST) - online

• International cooperation in Afghanistan: A way forward with(out) the Taliban? [DE/ENG]
  How can Germany reconcile its own interests and values with the realities of the current political situation in Afghanistan in the future, and what impact might this have on the objectives of a feminist German foreign policy? The panel discussion will address the resulting normative and political challenges of German cooperation in Afghanistan and its cooperation partners.

 With:

• Hosna Jalil, former Dep. Minister of Women- & Interior Affairs, Afghanistan
