Why It Matters
Environmental Degradation and Climate Change Vulnerability
Ethiopia, if not the world, faces increasing challenges of environmental degradation and climate change vulnerability. This has resulted in profound economic, social, ecosystem and public health crises. These challenges primarily arise from persistent deficiencies in designing and implementing community-based, ecosystem-centered approaches to environmental protection and climate resilience.
Our Objectives
- Support and promote inclusive and sustainable development by advocating for transformed agricultural practices, green technologies, responsible mining and industrial activities, integrated planning, green transportation systems, resilient infrastructure, livable cities, efficient waste management, and the responsible governance of land, critical minerals, forests, water bodies, and other natural resources.
- Promote environmental protection through the advancement of pollution control mechanisms targeting air, water, soil, noise, light, and thermal pollution, and by encouraging the use of social and environmental impact assessments in development planning and decision-making.
- Support coordinated efforts to combat climate change and its impacts by promoting mitigation and adaptation strategies, as well as the development and deployment of climate finance mechanisms.
