ETHIOPIA KEY OBSERVED & ANTICIPATED CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS PRIORITY SECTORS FOR ADAPTATION

Ethiopia utilizes the Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy to aim for middle-income status by 2025 while reducing emissions and building resilience. The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) serves as a roadmap to mainstream adaptation across sectors and government levels, from federal to woreda. Key priority sectors for adaptation include agriculture, forestry, water, energy, transport, industry, health, and urban areas, addressing threats such as droughts, floods, rainfall variability, and increasing temperatures. The process has evolved from the 2007 National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) through the Ethiopian Programme of Adaptation to Climate Change (EPACC) to the current NAP framework, with recent milestones including Green Climate Fund support for gender-responsive drought resilience.

• Ethiopia's climate response is centered on the Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy, which targets achieving middle-income status by 2025 alongside greenhouse gas emission reductions and resilience building.
• The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is designed to reduce vulnerability by integrating adaptation into development activities across various sectors and government tiers, including federal, regional, zonal, and woreda levels.
• Ethiopia has identified specific priority sectors for adaptation—including agriculture, forestry, water, energy, transport, industry, health, and urban—to combat climate impacts such as increasing temperatures, rainfall variability, droughts, and floods.
