| Summary: | The CEA assesses the country’s key
environmental challenges in this transformation process and
the capacity to manage them. It takes a holistic perspective
on environmental issues, covering the major sectors of the
economy. The CEA focuses on four clusters of sectors that,
together, are determining Ethiopia’s development path: (i)
resilient rural landscapes, (ii) green industrialization,
(iii) sustainable urbanization, transport and living
conditions, and (iv) sustainable energy access. Achieving
Ethiopia’s CRGE goals requires shifting the trajectory that
each cluster is on toward more sustainable options. For each
of these clusters, the CEA discusses their current and
intended trajectories (environmental trends such as
degradation and pollution, and the government plans and
strategies to respond to these trends) as well as the
policies, incentives, institutions, information (the
upstream enabling environment) needed to put the country on
a green, clean, and resilient development pathway. The
report also highlights practical experiences from Ethiopia
and elsewhere. The bulk of the analysis in the CEA focuses
on key challenges in the enabling environment in terms of
policies, institutions, incentives, and information—which
can contribute to success in achieving sustainability and
mobilizing investment if well-designed and consistently
implemented, and can impede success if not. |
