Item Focus point: Political sciences - Participation not paternalism : Other aspects of a solar partnership with Africa(2008) Leggewie, ClausDue to its causes and its environmental impact, climate change is normally considered a subject for the natural sciences. But with a view to its consequences, it must also become a central subject for social and cultural studies.Africa has contributed very little to climate change, but it may suffer many of the consequences. A genuine solar partnership between Africa and Europe must offer the African partners a fair and autonomous development opportunity. Opportunities that are not usually provided in current development cooperation initiatives.Item Focus point: Political sciences - The Solar Plan for the Mediterranean : The Solar Partnership Between Africa and Europe in the Shadow of Politics(2008) Westphal, KirstenAt the inaugural Summit of the Union for the Mediterranean in July 2008, 40 heads of government and state from the Mediterranean adjoining states and the 27 members of the European Union agreed, among other things, on the Solar Plan for the Mediterranean. It was of particular importance for the Federal Republic of Germany and involves building solar power plants in the desert regions of North Africa and in this way supplying Europe with electricity. This solar plan can be an important pillar of an integrated climate and energy policy in Europe. It can contribute to a reduced dependence on energy sources that are harmful to the climate like coal, natural gas, and oil but also nuclear energy. The Solar Power Partnership could be an important building block for Europeans to achieve their climate targets.
