Abstract Nowadays climate change is amongst the most critical problems affecting the wellbeing of human beings. In Ethiopia, where the majority of the population rely on agriculture, climate change has adverse effects. In rural areas, low resilient capacity to shocks exacerbates the impacts of climate change such as production failure, which in turn enormously contributed to food insecurity. In view of this fact, this study assessed the perceptions and practices of climate change and related adaptation and mitigation strategies among farmers in the Konta Special District, Southern Ethiopia, by using a mixed research approach involving a concurrent method of data collection and analysis. Quantitative data for this study was generated from 296 randomly selected survey households; while, qualitative data was collected through focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and in-depth interviews. The findings of this study revealed that sample respondents recognized the occurrence climate change and its increasing adverse effects. Regarding its cause, a substantial proportion (46.8%) of the respondents perceived climate change as the wrath of God and a natural phenomenon rather than attributing it to human activities. Participants also acknowledged that anthropogenic factors such as deforestation are the major driving factors for climate change. The study found that farmers affirmatively perceive the feasibility of the majority of the strategies embraced in the Climate Resilient Green Economy initiative endorsed at national level. Understanding that climate change effects are less reversible, farmers were found to practice mitigation strategies such as afforestation, agroforestry and agricultural intensification more than adaptation strategies. Adaptation strategies such as fuel conservation technologies were perceived costly and complex given the economic capacity and skill of farmers. Hence, rural and agricultural development policies should initiate context sensitive adaptation and mitigation strategies to enhance the capability of smallholders to deal with the effects of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
Land restoration is one of Ethiopia's top priorities for aligning development efforts with a climate-resilient green economy. In Ethiopia, initiatives to rehabilitate degraded land are generally evaluated in terms of the local people's economic and environmental impacts. Farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and actions toward land restoration, on the other hand, have to be taken into consideration for long-term natural resource conservation. As a consequence, this study examines the relationships between farmers' knowledge, attitude, and contributions to behavioral change in the restoration of degraded land. Data were collected from 120 farmers who participated in the restoration of degraded land. Structural equation models and mediation analyses were utilized for path analysis. The findings indicated that farmers had a good understanding of land restoration techniques. Analysis of the causal models revealed that farmers' attitude toward land restoration is highly influenced by their knowledge level of farmers. The outcome also revealed that positive attitudes of farmers resulted in behavioral change towards land restoration. Effective local community participation in the land restoration process and strengthening of their knowledge and attitudes that influence their behavior should be the cornerstones of sustainable land restoration.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Climate change has become one of the most important development challenges worldwide. It affects various sectors, with agriculture the most vulnerable. In Ethiopia, climate change impacts are exacerbated due to the economy’s heavy dependence on agriculture. The Ethiopian Government has started to implement its climate-resilient green economy (CRGE) strategy and reduce CO2 emissions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of CO2 emission on agricultural productivity and household welfare. Design/methodology/approach This study aims to fill these significant research and knowledge gaps using a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model to investigate CO2 emissions’ impact on agricultural performance and household welfare. Findings The results indicate that CO2 emissions negatively affect agricultural productivity and household welfare. Compared to the baseline, real agricultural gross domestic product is projected to be 4.5% lower in the 2020s under a no-CRGE scenario. Specifically, CO2 emissions lead to a decrease in the production of traded and non-traded crops, but not livestock. Emissions also worsen the welfare of all segments of households, where the most vulnerable groups are the rural-poor households. Originality/value The debate in the area is not derived from a rigorous analysis and holistic economy-wide approach. Therefore, the paper fills this gap and is original by value and examines these issues methodically.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change adversely affected agricultural productivity in developing countries. This study aimed to explore the effects of this climate change, particularly on cereal crops production in Ethiopia. The study employed Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model approach to the co-integration with an error correction term. ARDL technique was selected due to its stationarity assumption and unbiased estimates of its long-run coefficients. The estimated model justifies the existence of a long-run relationship between cereal crops production, climate change variables (temperature and precipitation), and other explanatory variables. Precipitation has a positive and significant effect on cereal crops production both in the long and short runs, while temperature change has a significant negative effect. In the long run, cereal crops production was positively and significantly affected by arable land, fertilizer consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions, while in the short run, labor force participation has a positive and significant effect on cereal crops production. The study results confirmed that there is a long-run relationship between cereal crops production and climate change variables. In agriculture, research and development should focus on varieties of cereal crops that can tolerate high temperatures. Climate Resilient Green Economy should have to strengthen in the country. All countries should have to work hand-in-hand to mitigate the effect of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
International climate finance is a crucial component of the response to climate change. This paper examines how national-level funding vehicles mobilize finance from international sources. Based on interviews with policymakers and various actors involved in the negotiation and design of four major early national climate funds, the Amazon Fund, the Bangladesh Climate Change Resilience Fund, Ethiopia’s Climate Resilient Green Economy Facility, and the Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund, this paper identifies design features of national climate funds and highlights the trade-offs that developing countries face in their pursuit of climate finance. These design features have significant bearing on the overall effectiveness of the funds themselves. The findings from this study suggest that developing countries seek to maximize control over the funds even though it means that the design features do not minimize costs, as efficiency-oriented perspectives would suggest. The experience of these early national climate funds could be instructive to those governments and stakeholders considering establishing their own national climate funds or improving features. Three policy lessons are noteworthy: the importance of demonstrating commitment to climate policy through transparent data and results, instilling robust fiduciary standards and safeguards, and the virtuous cycle mobilizing climate finance and acquiring a track record on climate programming.

Full textAbstract:
The international community has introduced many policies and strategies to transform the economy into a green and sustainable economy. As finance is the economy's lifeblood, reform in the financial sector is vital to achieving sustainable development. The financial industry has two main aims in promoting sustainable finance. To protect itself from risks that emanate from the climate crisis and to positively contribute to transforming the economy into a green and sustainable economy. Some African countries have introduced legal and policy frameworks to reorient the financial industry into a more sustainable path. This article examines the experience of five African countries: South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia. African banks and financial institutions voluntarily join international initiatives and adapt to international standards. This shows that the industry is open to embracing the inevitable change that determines the future of finance in domestic and international markets. African countries are also taking essential steps with a growing interest in doing more. African countries can benefit from the new trends in the financial market. However, lack of resources, proper policy and legal frameworks, and lack of qualified experts are still challenging the transformation to sustainable finance in Africa. The African Union is thus expected to coordinate the efforts of individual countries to transform the continent's financial sector into a more sustainable path. So far, only a few AU initiatives concerning sustainable finance exist.

Purpose Policy framework has significant roles in minimizing the impact of climate change in agrarian societies like Ethiopia. The purpose of this paper is to assess the integration of issues related to climate change adaptation into the national development planning of Ethiopia. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research design, which depended on secondary and primary data sources, was used in this study. Data were collected from relevant documents. These were substantiated with field data gathered through key informant interviews and focus group discussions from participants identified using purposive sampling. Thematic analysis of the collected data was done by first considering the relevant documents and then comparing with the field data. During the analysis and interpretation, the results were combined to explain, confirm, refute and/or enrich the data obtained through document reviews and interviews. Findings The result of the study revealed that the general issues of environmental management have been included in the relevant documents (national plans). However, the documents do not explicitly identify climate change adaptation strategies and options that can alleviate the current impacts and the projected negative impacts associated with climate change. In fact, some documents were found to be characterized by numerous gaps. For example, the environmental policy of Ethiopia does not address climate trading, climate resilient green economy and recent development. The result from interviews shows that the constitution of the country lacks sufficiently addressing climate change adaptation. The result obtained from focus group discussion with informants indicated that the environmental policy of the country is shallow and suffers from showing clear direction regarding integration. The informants indicate that though there is an office that works on climate change at zonal level, there is no well-defined structure for climate change at zonal, district and Kebele levels and there appears to be weak integration among the different institutions working on climate change. Originality/value This study would speed up the revision of environmental policy of Ethiopia and the development of a separate policy document that focuses on adaptation to climate change.

Abstract The Government of Indonesia committed to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to end poverty, inequality, and mitigate climate change. The submission of an Enhanced Nationally Defined Contribution (ENDC) to UNFCC strengthens Indonesia’s commitment in a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy development. The Minister of Finance has launched an ESG Framework to mainstreaming ESG through government support and facilities on infrastructure financing, in which IIGF (Indonesia Infrastructure Guarantee Fund) has a significant role in providing sovereign guarantee for Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Qualitative approach was used to examine the benefit of ESG and additional value of IIGF’s ESG integrated guarantee to support the acceleration of the Indonesia’s sustainable infrastructure development. This paper concludes that in addition to de-risking instrument, the guarantee will bring additional value in ensuring a fair ESG risk allocation, project structuring and long-term risk management and monitoring. This will allow privates to access green and sustainable financing. The challenges mainly on capacity building and alignment of policy and standards among stakeholders. However, IIGF has opportunity to link with stakeholders and build collaboration to fill gaps and connecting to suitable market. This paper, however, report initial findings of the ongoing comprehensive studies as part of IIGF ESG initiative roadmap.

Full textAbstract:
The paper specifically explores the corollary benefits for economic development and environmental sustainability of a low-carbon, climate-resilient, green pathway for Ethiopia—a pathway that is consistent with attaining the country’s medium- and long-term development goals. The analysis compares a net zero emissions (NZE) pathway with a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. The BAU scenario embeds optimistic (high) economic growth assumptions from Ethiopia’s 10-Year Development Plan, and it incorporates the gradual and early incremental adoption of several climate initiatives proposed in the Climate Resilience and Green Economy Strategy. The NZE scenario builds on the implementation of Ethiopia’s nationally determined contribution (NDC) by 2030. The NZE scenario also incorporates additional climate policy options (adaptation and mitigation), resulting in net zero emissions by 2050.

Full textAbstract:
The Impact of Green Legacy on Sustainable Development and Climate Change in Ethiopia is a topic that requires further research to address the existing research gap. While the Green Legacy initiative launched by the Ethiopian government aims to combat deforestation and soil degradation by promoting tree planting, there is limited scholarly literature specifically examining its impact on climate change mitigation and adaptation. A research gap exists in understanding the effectiveness of the Green Legacy in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting carbon sequestration, and enhancing the resilience of local ecosystems to climate change impacts. Further research in this area is crucial to assess the initiative's contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts in Ethiopia, inform policy decisions, and guide the implementation of effective strategies to address the country's environmental challenges. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of green legacy in promoting climate change. Mixed research methods were employed. To get the primary data needed for the study, questionnaires and interviews as data collection tools. The study adopted both descriptive and explanatory research designs. Through explanatory research design, the study investigated the effect of planting and growing trees on climate change. The study used a descriptive method to assess changes and opportunities in Ethiopian green legacy. Logit regression analysis was applied to examine the factors that affect business climate change. While working on the green legacy agenda, the changes such as water scarcity to grow trees, overexploited forests, and lands that are difficult to easily recover through green legacy. The research findings on this topic can contribute to the understanding of the effectiveness of large-scale reforestation initiatives in combating climate change. By evaluating the outcomes of the Green Legacy, researchers can identify successful strategies, challenges, and potential improvements that can be adapted to other regions facing similar environmental issues. Secondly, this research can provide insights into the potential contribution of tree planting initiatives to carbon sequestration, which is vital for global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change impacts. Additionally, understanding the impact of the Green Legacy on local ecosystems can guide the development of sustainable land management practices, habitat restoration, and biodiversity conservation. Lastly, the findings of this research can inform evidence-based policy decisions, guiding the formulation and implementation of effective environmental and climate change policies at the national and international levels. Overall, the research implications highlight the importance of studying the impact of the Green Legacy in Ethiopia to address climate change challenges and advance sustainable development goals. Based on regression analysis, the results of the study revealed that planting and growing have a negative effect on climate change. The scholars suggested the federal government of Ethiopia continue the plantation of trees and growing of trees to maintain sustainable development through green and healthy countries after climate action.

Full textAbstract:
This volume is the first ever economics handbook on a single African country focused on the theme of structural transformation. It is intended to serve as a major reference book on the Ethiopian economy for university students, researchers, and policymakers. Part I, covering the period 1890–2017, deals with the transition from a traditional to a modern economy, from the period of Imperial rule under Emperor Haile Selassie, through the Derg regime to the post-1991 government of the EPRDF. Issues including land tenure, ethnic federalism, the constitutional framework, and legal institutions are assessed extensively. Part II deals with economic policies for structural transformation in the post-1991 period, covering topics such as the development of the financial sector, trade and infrastructure policies, poverty reduction strategies, and the focus on green and climate-resilient transformation. Part III focuses on social policy and development, with attention to growth, poverty and inequality, the shifting debate on demography, child nutrition, social protection, education, employment creation, and food security. Part IV examines progress in transforming Ethiopian agriculture and the remaining challenges of upgrading technological innovations to harness the value-added potential of the sector. Part V discusses the processes and policy adaptations undertaken by the government for late industrialization in Ethiopia with special reference to the garment and textile industry. The impact of urbanization on growth and transformation is also considered. Part VI situates the Ethiopian state-led development model in the larger debate of the significance of the East Asian development model to other developing countries such as Ethiopia.

Human civilization didn’t care much about environment in its rapid progress of urbanization and pursue of self-interest. There had been apathy for decades to protect and preserve environment. Environment had been exploited for personal gain and fulfillment human society requirements. Now, in 21st century environment is at tipping point. The backlash of nature has become rampant. Heatwave, erratic rainshower, cyclone, cloudburst and landslide have troubled people like never before. Climate driven devastation and displacement have increased manifold. Humongous loss of habitat, infrastructure and lives have given wake up Call to human society. Time has arrived to channelize finance for environment protection, reduction of carbon emission and initiation of green drive to avoid catastrophic climate risk. Green finance is a well thought out initiative to provide loan or financial assistance for product or service which will reduce carbon emission substantially and make economic growth sustainable. Green finance will also sponsor environment centric activities and make society sensitive and proactive for natural resource optimum utilization, ecological balance, biodiversity maintenance and environmental preservation. Green finance is need of the hour to fix environment anomalies and protect lives of people, property, business, economy and planet earth.
