- Ethiopia is expanding renewable energy development and promoting initiatives like the Green Legacy to combat climate change.
- The two-day event in Addis Ababa showcases innovations in water and energy, fostering collaboration and technology exchange to advance sustainable, low-carbon growth.
Ethiopia is accelerating renewable energy development to curb the impacts of climate change, State Minister of Water and Energy Sultan Wolle said.
The Ministry of Water and Energy is hosting a two-day pre-summit exhibition in Addis Ababa ahead of the second African Climate Summit. The exhibition aims to promote sustainable, low-carbon energy initiatives for Ethiopia and the continent.
Opening the event, Wolle said the exhibition provides a platform to share innovative solutions, knowledge, and experiences that can advance sustainable development in the water and energy sector.
He highlighted Ethiopia’s ongoing climate action programmes, including the Green Legacy Initiative, which advances the country’s green development strategy through mass tree planting and environmental restoration.
Wolle stressed that expanding renewable energy remains central to Ethiopia’s efforts to mitigate climate impacts, adding that the government will continue reinforcing this focus.
The exhibition allows participants to discuss and explore cutting-edge technologies that could help reduce climate vulnerabilities.
Organisers expect the event to help lay the groundwork for next month’s African Climate Summit in Addis Ababa, underscoring the importance of water and energy integration in building climate resilience.
