H.E. Ambassador Bizunesh Meseret (DHM and CD) highlighted Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative at the Global Dialogue Forum on Strengthening the Afro-Asia Dialogue on Climate Crisis.
During the occasion, she emphasized that the initiative, which has planted over 25 billion seedlings since 2019 by surpassing its initial goal of 20 billion, combats deforestation and climate change while enhancing food security. She further elaborated on Ethiopia’s plan to plant an additional 25 billion seedlings across various agro-ecologies in the next four years, as part of the second phase, and stressed the need for stronger Afro-Asian collaboration to expand green efforts and support sustainable development across the region.
