Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to join you today in the commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the historic Paris Agreement. Ethiopia has taken bold leadership on climate action by launching its ambitious climate resilient green economy strategy that aspires to build a carbon neutral and resilient economy by 2030. For the last two years, this strategy has been fully mainstreamed into the recently launched 10-year perspective development plan, which runs from 2021 to 2030. As part of our commitment to the Paris Agreement, we have also launched our 15 years ambitious national adaptation plan aimed at reducing the variety of the country to the adverse impacts of climate change. This plan has identified 18 options across the most vulnerable sectors, including agriculture, forestry, health and transport. We have also recently intensified our commitment in the fight against climate change by launching our Green Legacy National Flagship Initiative in 2019, aimed at planting 20 billion seedlings within four years. In the last two years, we have managed to plant more than nine billion seedlings. As of next year, my government is working to extend the Green Legacy Initiative into neighboring countries. Ethiopia is also on the verge of finalizing the process of updating its nationally determined contribution, as well as the preparation of the 2050 long-term low-carbon development strategy. Despite the challenge posed by the COVID-19, I would like to reiterate the unwavering commitment of Ethiopia in the global fight against climate change and call upon all parties to enhance their ambition and scale-ups, their climate, financial support for developing countries. Thank you.
