This briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute argues that multilateral adaptation finance largely treats climate risk as a local phenomenon, failing to address transboundary and 'teleconnected' risks that cross borders through trade, financial flows, and shared ecosystems. The authors propose a shift toward 'systemic resilience'—interventions focusing on whole systems rather than individual countries—to deliver shared benefits for both recipient and contributor nations.

This technical note by the World Resources Institute describes the development of a baseline water risk model for Ethiopia, using 2015 as a baseline. The model provides subbasin-level estimates of water withdrawal and consumption across irrigation, livestock, domestic, and industrial sectors, combined with 36 years of remotely-sensed renewable water resources data to identify water stress and variability.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) has outlined its Ethiopia Country Transition Strategy (2026–2032), which aims to catalyze a transition toward inclusive green growth. The strategy focuses on transforming three interconnected human systems—cities, energy, and food, land, and water—while strengthening the underlying economics, finance, and governance to ensure Ethiopia's natural wealth leads to shared prosperity and climate resilience.
