Together, these policy briefs aim to support policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in developing coherent, inclusive, and forward-looking policy responses to the complex realities of today’s polycrisis. #### Ocean governance and protection: What (more) can Africa and Europe do together? **Policy brief no. 11 | December 2025** By Sebastian Seiffert [Policy Brief NO.11](https://civis.eu/storage/files/11-seiffert-ocean-governance-and-protection-what-more-can-africa-and-europe-do-together.pdf) ### Trapped by Debt: How Economic Instability, Climate Costs, and Geopolitical Shocks Are Pushing Nations to the Brink **Policy brief no. 12 | January 2026** By Fatima-Ezzahra El Oirdani [POLICY BRIEF NO.12](https://civis.eu/storage/files/12-el-oirdani-trapped-by-debt-economic-instability-climate-costs-geopolitical-shocks-jan-2026.pdf) ### Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management in the Water-Energy-Food-Climate Nexus: A comparative analysis of EU and AU water management strategies **Policy brief no. 13 | January 2026** By Noor Jehan Gulamussen and Emílio Tostão [POLICY BRIEF NO.13](https://civis.eu/storage/files/13-gulamussen-and-tostao-integrated-water-resource-management-in-the-water-energy-food-climate-nexus-comparative-analysis-of-eu-and-au-strategies.pdf) ### Strengthening Mozambique's Resilience: A Transformative Approach to Multi-Hazard Vulnerabilities **Policy brief no. 14 | January 2026** By Almeida A.
