The kick-off conference of the EDC2020 (European Development Co-operation to 2020) project – an FP7 funded project investigating key emerging issues regarding the European development cooperation – will be held on 2 June 2008 at the IPC Residence Palace in Brussels. This event will look at issues ranging from new actors in international development to energy security, democracy and political development, European development policy and climate change. What effects will emerging actors such as China, India and Brazil have on European thinking about aid instruments, modalities and organisation of the European aid system? What might climate change mean for current and future policies in areas such as agriculture, trade, disasters and risk reduction and humanitarian assistance? Is the energy security imperative driving a heightened focus on development or undermining the latter?
