Environment, Forest and Climate Change Commission (EFCCC)

1. Strengthen Ethiopia’s overall adaptation strategy, through a strategic review of current national, regional and sectoral strategies and recent experience, using UNFCCC guidelines, and prepare Ethiopia’s adaptation policy framework to guide the country to address adaptation needs currently not being addressed, readying Ethiopia to access global climate finance.

2. Bridge adaptation requirements across sectors and regions by identifying overlapping jurisdictions and missing links between different themes/sectors and geographical regions.

3. Situate Ethiopia’s overall adaptation strategy into the country’s climate strategy landscape through review of existing policies and plans, conducting a gap analysis using UNFCCC guidelines and elaborating the current climate change policies and plans.

4. Facilitate implementation of Ethiopia’s adaptation strategy by aligning it with the institutional framework of Ethiopia’s major climate change strategies and programs.

The Ethiopia NAP (NAP-ETH) vision is to create climate change impact resilient development for Ethiopia and its people.

Integrate currently disparate sectoral and regional adaptation initiatives in order to mainstream climate change holistically within Ethiopia's long-term development path.

Mainstream and institutionalize the implementation of adaptation in the country's development governance structures.

Mobilize resources from public and private climate finance sources, both domestic and international, to develop capacities and implement adaptation initiatives.

Establish resilient systems that can withstand disasters and climate risks by building collaborative partnerships among stakeholders and integrating adaptation in development sectors.
