Ethiopia Gears Up for COP 28, Highlighting Climate Action Achievements and Challenges

ADDIS ABABA, November 9, 2023 (MoPD)

Ethiopia, a country that has been at the forefront of climate action in Africa, is participating in the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which is taking place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 30 to December 12, 2023.

The country has been actively engaged in climate action for several years, implementing various initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience to the impacts of a changing climate.

Ethiopia has a pavilion at Blue Zone COP28 and a booth at the Green Zone, where it hosts various side events and bilateral and multilateral meetings, and a live exhibition to share its successful climate action initiatives and present its challenges of climate change. Ethiopia is also engaging in negotiations and discussions on implementing the Paris Agreement and enhancing its global climate ambition.

Recognizing the fact that Ethiopia is also facing the adverse impacts of climate change, such as droughts, floods, desertification, and displacement, the country is seeking international support and cooperation to address these challenges and achieve its ambitious climate goals.

Ethiopia's pavilion at COP 28 will serve as a platform to showcase the country's climate action achievements and challenges and the open partnership with different stakeholders to this end. The pavilion will host various side events, bilateral meetings, and multilateral discussions, aiming to foster collaboration and partnerships for addressing climate change and other environmental challenges and ensuring its aspiration to build climate-resilient green growth in the short term and as outlined in the 10 Year Development Plan and Ethiopia’s Long Term Low Emission and Climate Resilient Development Strategy by 2030 and 2050, respectively.
