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

Ethiopia's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) serves as a roadmap to reduce climate vulnerability by mainstreaming adaptation into development activities, aiming to support the country's goal of achieving middle-income status by 2025. The process involves vertical integration across federal, regional, zonal, and woreda levels, ensuring dialogue between national and sub-national governments, civil society, and the private sector. The NAP is designed to guide the implementation of climate-resilient strategies already produced by various line ministries under the Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy. Key climate drivers identified include increasing temperatures, rainfall variability, droughts, and floods, with priority adaptation sectors encompassing agriculture, water, forestry, health, urban areas, industry, transport, and power.

• The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is intended to reduce climate vulnerability and build resilience to help Ethiopia reach middle-income status by 2025, aligning with the Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy.
• Ethiopia employs a vertical integration approach to NAP implementation, maintaining dialogue across four levels of governance: federal, regional, zonal, and woreda.
• The NAP process followed a timeline from 2016 to 2019, beginning with the launch of the process in 2016, followed by a working draft in 2017, regional workshops and the first NAP assembly in 2018, and the initiation of an implementation roadmap in 2019.
