Ethiopia country climate and development report

The Ethiopia Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) aims to support Ethiopia’s plans to achieve its development goals within the context of a changing climate. By quantifying the likely economic impacts of climate change on the economy between now and 2050, the report highlights the measures that the government of Ethiopia (GoE) needs to prioritize to prepare for these impacts and adapt to them most effectively, with a particular focus on actions that should be taken throughout the remainder of this decade. Opportunities for low-carbon growth as a co-benefit of development programs are also examined.

Recommendations from the publication include:

• The private sector in Ethiopia is increasingly cognizant of the need to adapt and mitigate;
• However, macro, regulatory and policy distortions constrain the private sector’s participation in the economy in general;
• Active private sector participation in the climate agenda in additional requires inclusive and participatory decision-making process and better coordination at different levels of government;
• The deployment of PPPs in Ethiopia remains nascent.
