According to reports of the united nations framework convention for climate change (UNFCCC), Ethiopia is amongst the first few Least Developed Countries that has submitted the most ambitious nationally determined contributions (NDC) to overcome the negative impacts of climate change to the UNFCCC in 2015. In fact, Ethiopia's NDC has been designed based on its Climate-resilient green economy strategy (CRGE) which prevailed in 2011.
As it was clearly mentioned in the first NDC which was launched in 2017, Ethiopia has committed itself to tackle climate change through a transformative economic development approach that focuses on low-carbon growth, poverty reduction, climate resilience, and a green economy development driven by sustainability.
In this prospect, Over the last 9 years, it has achieved remarkable outcomes in the endeavour to build a green and resilient economy & society. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that Ethiopia's NDC has been an integral part of the national development plans.
After years of practical implementation of the plan, it existed relevant to review the national plan in a way that it was a suit and that it is pragmatic to the overall existing situation of the nation. To that end, internationally recognized consultants have been highered and assessed the progress of the plan. Not only this was acceptable to go through the online stakeholder consultations. But, it was highly scrutinized by the commission's technical working group and the participation of key stakeholders as well.
This webinar stakeholder consultation happens to collect constructive feedback from all actors to finalize the document in development for a better achievement of the country.
