On February 11, 2025, the Med-Or Italian Foundation organized a seminar entitled “Towards the G20 in South Africa – Africa’s Major Challenges in Energy, Climate Change, and Development Potential”, held by Dr. Jakkie Cilliers, Founder of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) Africa and Head of the African Futures and Innovation (AFI) programme.

This analysis takes into account the seminar’s findings and further explores subsequent developments in the lead-up to the G20 Heads of State Summit scheduled for November 22–23, 2025, as well as the upcoming EU-AU summit.
