Even if Ethiopia’s own GHG emissions are inconsequential globally, this focus both confers moral legitimacy on Ethiopia, and is potentially attractive to emerging international climate finance. Moreover, as a single factor relevant to all sectors, it is relatively easy to include GHG levels in a wide range of sector plans, mainstreaming several biodiversity, pollution, and soil and water conservation issues - albeit issues that may often be of greater importance locally - is trickier and consequently is rarely done effectively. The CRGE’s Green Economy component focuses on Ethiopia’s particular resource endowments, addresses some of the biggest economic risks facing the country, identifies the lowest-cost GHG abatement options, and makes the case to attract international finance.
