Desta Tesfahu Gobezie, Ethiopia's Minister of Government Communication Service, announced that the nation is prepared to share sustainable development experiences with other African countries. The 39th African Union Summit of Heads of State and the African Union Summit of Parliaments are scheduled in Addis Ababa from Katit 6 to 8, 2018 E.C. These gatherings will address Agenda 2063, emphasizing sustainable water supply and sanitation systems.
Ethiopia has increased its forest coverage from 17% to 23% over the past seven years through the Green Legacy initiative, demonstrating commitment to long-term growth, according to the minister. The country utilizes hydroelectric, wind, and solar power sources to expand energy access and export surplus to neighboring nations. Introducing electric vehicles in transportation further illustrates this practical dedication.
Urban corridor and green city developments, initiated in Addis Ababa, are expanding to other cities to promote sustainability and reduce urban heat impacts. By banning single-use plastics to establish plastic-free zones, Ethiopia highlights environmental stewardship. Ongoing efforts include modern techniques to efficiently utilize water resources.
