Ethiopia Takes Action on Climate Change

The Ministry of Planning and Development in Ethiopia has held a green footprint consultation and planting schedule in an effort to combat climate change.

The State Minister of for Planning and Development, Tirumar Abate, said that Ethiopia is committed to being a leader in the fight against climate change and that the green footprint program is an important part of this effort.

The green footprint program aims to plant 500 million saplings over the next five years. This will help to increase the country's forest cover and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The program also includes a public awareness campaign to educate people about the importance of protecting the environment.

Dr. Getahun Garedewu, Director General of the Environmental Protection Authority, said that the green footprint program is already having a positive impact on the environment. He said that the program has helped to reduce deforestation and increase groundwater resources.

The Ministry of Planning and Development is working with other government agencies and non-governmental organizations to implement the green footprint program. They are also working to raise awareness of the program among the public.

The green footprint program is an important step in Ethiopia's fight against climate change. The program is expected to have a significant positive impact on the environment and the economy.

In addition to the green footprint program, Ethiopia is also taking other steps to address climate change. These include:

• Investing in renewable energy sources
• Improving energy efficiency
• Promoting sustainable agriculture
• Reducing deforestation

Ethiopia is committed to taking action on climate change. The green footprint program is just one part of this effort. With continued action, Ethiopia can help to build a more sustainable future for its people and the planet.
