Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia II
Foreword
Ethiopia is experiencing the effects of climate change. Besides the direct effects such as an increase in average temperature or a change in rainfall patterns, climate change also presents the necessity and opportunity to switch to a new, sustainable development model. The Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has therefore initiated the Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) initiative to protect the country from the adverse effects of climate change and to build a green economy that will help realise its ambition of reaching middleincome status before 2025. Since February 2011, the CRGE initiative, under the leadership of the Prime Minister's Office, the Environmental Protection Authority, and the Ethiopian Development Research Institute, has been developing a strategy to build a green economy. Seven sectoral teams involving more than 50 experts from more than 20 leading government institutions have been driving the initiative. The objective is to identify green economy opportunities that could help Ethiopia reach its ambitious growth targets while keeping greenhouse gas emissions low. The government intends to attract development partners to help implement this new and sustainable growth model. This report summarises the findings of the CRGE initiative, and particularly focuses on outlining the plan to develop a green economy. The document does not cover climate resilience, which will be added over the coming months. This strategy has been extensively discussed during the previous two months of regional and sectoral consultations to ensure national alignment on priorities, confirm initial findings, create awareness, and join forces. This document reflects the work of the CRGE initiative as well as the outcome of the consultation process.
