Digital Ethiopia 2025 has been completed after achieving its intended goals to an almost full extent. As of today, we have officially launched Digital Ethiopia 2030. Expanding accessibility, creating equal opportunities for citizens, and strengthening trust between citizens and institutions are among the key foundational pillars of the strategy. To ensure these pillars are realized, significant efforts will be made, particularly in expanding public digital infrastructure. This will create strong capacity for digital technology, with a people-centered approach, to improve the lives of citizens. Overall, the initiatives being implemented under Digital Ethiopia are aligned with the goals of the Medemer State to realize major strategies through streamlined bureaucracy.
I had a fruitful discussion with the Executive Secretary of UN ECA @claverGatete on the needs and modalities of working together to deliver a truly African COP in 2027. I am confident that the Economic Commission for Africa with the ES and his team will contribute immensely in making COP 32 a remarkable success for Africa.
Africa has spoken with one voice at the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 30) in Belém, Brazil and the world has listened. Ethiopia extends its heartfelt gratitude to the African Group of Negotiators for their unanimous endorsement of Ethiopia’s bid to host COP 32 in Addis Ababa in 2027. We are grateful for the opportunity that the Conference of the Parties is giving us to spearhead the collective effort to tackle one of the most daunting challenges faced by humanity. We are honored to be entrusted by the global community with such an important responsibility. This recognition reflects confidence in Ethiopia’s leadership in climate action and its capacity to host major global events.
Ethiopia remains fully committed to delivering a robust and meaningful outcome and inclusive COP 32 that advances collective action against climate change. Building on the momentum of the Second Africa Climate Summit, Ethiopia will continue to champion Africa as a continent of solutions and a committed partner in the global effort for a sustainable future.
