What causes climate change? (IPCC finding)
What causes climate change? (IPCC finding)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attributes the primary cause of climate change in recent decades to human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels.
Which greenhouse gas is most responsible for warming?
Which greenhouse gas is most responsible for warming?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for warming the lower atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to the greenhouse effect.
What is the Paris Agreement?

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.
