UNDP Jobs

Climate change is of critical strategic importance to Ethiopia. According to the Ethiopian government sources, climate change has the potential to hold back economic progress, or reverse the gains made in Ethiopia’s development and could exacerbate social and economic problems. According to CRGE analysis, climate change also has the potential to destabilize the Horn of Africa and bring more fierce competition for water and other resources throughout the Nile Basin. At the same time, climate change and the international response bring opportunities for Ethiopia. In addition, new financial support from industrialized countries for low carbon and climate resilient development, such as for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), are likely to become available. There is enormous potential for action on climate change to deliver multiple co-benefits for the well-being of the population and the country’s economy.
