Reflection: Introduction to climate change

Climate change poses a significant and growing threat to Ethiopia, a country heavily reliant on agriculture and natural resources. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall patterns, recurrent droughts, and floods are increasingly undermining food security, water availability, and livelihoods across the nation. These climate-induced challenges exacerbate existing socio-economic vulnerabilities, particularly among rural and low-income communities. As Ethiopia strives for sustainable development and resilience, addressing the multifaceted impacts of climate change has become an urgent national priority.
