 Over the past few months, the world has been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a global community, we have been exerting energy and putting significant resources into mitigating the spread of the virus. One thing that this spread has made us aware of is human vulnerability. The importance of maintaining personal health and creating an environment that supports well-being. Our natural environment is an important determinant of human health. And a healthy ecosystem which supports biodiversity is critical. Like other parts of the world, Ethiopia has also been confronted with climate change and environmental degradation. Such effects have contributed to flooding, soil erosion, deforestation and biodiversity loss. Therefore, countering climate change and paving the way for green goals has been one of our key development objectives.
