Addis Ababa, September 21, 2023 (FBC) – The Deputy Prime Minister, in his statement in New York today, highlighted Ethiopia’s substantial investment in adaptation measures through the Green Legacy Initiative.

During the implementation segment of the Climate Ambition Summit, Demeke elaborated on the Ethiopian Early Warning Landscape, which is supported by changing policies as the scope, intensity, and frequency of disasters increase.

This initiative, he explained, has successfully led to the planting of over 32 billion tree seedlings, yielding various benefits.

Furthermore, he commended the Secretary-General’s ‘Early Warning for All’ initiative and emphasized the importance of increased international cooperation to facilitate essential coordination, collaboration, and financial support to develop efficient and effective early warning systems at the national, regional, and global levels.
