Ethiopia's Green Legacy: A National Call to Cultivate a Resilient Future

=========================================================================

ADDIS ABABA | June 28, 2025

Ethiopia has embarked on its ambitious annual tree planting campaign, a nationwide endeavor aimed at fostering environmental sustainability and building a climate-resilient future. Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed officially launched the 2025 planting season under the inspiring theme "Renewal Through Planting," with a goal of planting an unprecedented 7.5 billion seedlings across the nation.

This monumental initiative, however, transcends the simple act of planting trees. It represents a foundational strategy for securing the nation's future by directly addressing critical issues of food and water security, strengthening livelihoods, and enhancing overall resilience to climate change. By restoring degraded lands and improving soil and water conservation, the initiative aims to boost agricultural productivity and ensure a sustainable supply of resources for a growing population. The focus on planting fruit and fodder trees is a direct investment in the nutritional well-being and economic stability of Ethiopian families.

The government has issued a powerful call to action, urging every citizen to embrace this shared responsibility. This collective effort is the cornerstone of the initiative's success and a testament to Ethiopia's commitment to sustainable development and climate leadership. By participating, all Ethiopians can contribute to cultivating a legacy of environmental stewardship and resilience, planting the seeds of hope for a secure, prosperous, and self-sufficient future for generations to come.
