Case studyDescription
The Ethiopia CRGE is a vision to build a middle-income climate resilient green economy by 2025 (USD 1,000 GDP per capita) through zero net carbon growth. This development strategy is laid out in the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP). Climate change is impacting across the whole economy. The future impacts and costs of climate change, without adaptation at the national and local level could put this middle-income ambition at risk.
In partnership with the Ministry of Environmental Forests, ACCRA is developing the institutional capacity to put the Climate Resilient strategy into practice.
