For Ethiopia, climate action is economic policy essential to protecting livelihoods, strengthening resilience and sustaining development gains. Guided by our philosophy of Medemer, we have planted 56 billion seedlings through our Green Legacy Initiative, while advancing renewable energy, sustainable urban development and climate-smart solutions.
We must move beyond commitments to early action, supported by accessible climate finance, stronger early warning systems and greater investment in the resilience of vulnerable communities.
As the incoming COP32 Presidency, Ethiopia will champion these priorities, work closely with the COP31 Presidency towards a successful outcome and welcome the world to the Land of Origins for COP32.
