On my trip to #Senegal, I am not only dealing with migration policy issues, but also with the planned Just Energy Transition Partnership (#JETP) between 🇸🇳 and 🇩🇪 - and the question of whether Germany will participate in the financing of new fossil infrastructures.

JETPs are a relatively new form of climate governance and financing, first established during #COP26 between a consortium of donor countries and South Africa. The aim is to provide grants and loans specifically for socially just energy transitions in the respective countries.

A #JETP is also planned between Senegal and Germany, among others. However, Germany's energy commitment in the country is not limited to renewable energies, but also aims at promoting fossil infrastructures - particularly in order to secure natural gas imports to 🇩🇪.

In the coming days, I will therefore be holding various talks on the risks of natural gas production and the opportunities and hurdles of a JETP. Thereby I will be accompanied by @sascha_m_k. I am very much looking forward to this!
