Ethiopia is committed to building a climate-resilient green economy. Its plan to do so comprises actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while safeguarding economic growth (?green economy?) as well as adaptation initiatives to reduce vulnerability to the effects of climate change (?climate resilience?). To develop a green economy, 150 initiatives have been identified and 60 prioritised based on their local relevance, feasibility, contribution to reaching GTP targets, and significant potential for emission reduction at a reasonable cost for the relevant sectors. If all the emission reduction initiatives that have been identified were fully implemented, Ethiopia would limit emissions to current levels in absolute terms and reduce per capita emissions from 1.8 to 1.1 t CO₂ e while achieving middle-income status before 2025. In parallel, those sectors of the economy most vulnerable to the hazards of climate change have been identified for prioritized regional adaptation plans: agriculture, health, water and energy, buildings, and transport. Ethiopia is already pursuing large-scale afforestation and reforestation and is developing further adaptation initiatives to increase climate resilience through support for natural ecosystems and a ?green cities? approach to urbanization.
