From local to national: Supporting local government action in climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and development planning

The report examines the intersection of climate variability and development in Ethiopia, specifically focusing on how farmers and pastoralists are affected by drought and floods. It draws on research conducted by Haramaya University and government officials in the Oromiya, Afar, and Amhara Regional States to argue that climate adaptation efforts must be aligned with broader development plans to be effective.

• Climate hazards and variability in Ethiopia, including drought and floods that destroy livestock, harvests, and infrastructure, occur alongside other trends such as land degradation, population growth, and commercialisation opportunities, necessitating the alignment of climate efforts with development plans.
