    Study Notes

    Climate Change

    • The primary cause of recent climate change is human activity, specifically the burning of fossil fuels.
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas responsible for lower atmosphere warming.

    Paris Agreement

    • The Paris Agreement, introduced in 2015, established voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for most nations.

    Ethiopia's Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE)

    • Improving crop and livestock production methods, protecting forests, and expanding energy-efficient technologies are key pillars.
    • The strategy does not involve fossil fuels as a primary focus.

    Renewable Energy Sources in Ethiopia

    • Ethiopia plans to leverage hydro, geothermal, solar, and wind power for electricity generation.
