Foreword

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia submits this national report in the hope that it

will contribute to sharing of experiences among participants of the United Nations Conference

on Sustainable Development, at the Rio+20 Conference scheduled to be held in Rio de

Janeiro, Brazil in June 2012. Ethiopia has unveiled its sustainable and integrated development

planning documents, the 5-year Growth and Transformation Plan and the Climate Resilient

Green Economy Strategy that shaped the content of this report.

The major thrust of the report is a critical assessment of sustainable development efforts and

achievements during the past two decades and provides a brief account of Ethiopia¡¯s planned

path of green economy development. We believe Ethiopia¡¯s experience in integrated

development planning and the green economy path of development that it is committed to

pursue shall contribute to the outcome of the UNCSD.
