He has succeeded in creating a green culture of green footprint - Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed

 Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said that the Green Footprint campaign that has been going on for four consecutive years in Ethiopia has been successful in creating a green culture in the country.

In his statement regarding the completion of the four-year green footprint campaign, the Prime Minister said, "Although we still have a lot of work to do, we have no doubt that the movement has produced results in the country."

In his message, the Prime Minister pointed out that the floods, forest fires, strong storms and abnormal heat that have been observed around the world in the last few weeks are typical examples of climate change.

He also mentioned that the drought in the Horn of Africa is the result of climate change.

In Ethiopia, climate change has dried up water sources. In some parts of the country, it has caused drought.

Prime Minister Abiy advised that it is necessary to take a practical solution beyond meetings to solve this problem that the world is currently suffering from.

He said that Ethiopia has been successful in adopting such a practical solution.

He recalled that Ethiopia started a green footprint campaign in 2011 to develop watersheds, increase its forest cover, promote ecotourism and increase the green cover of its cities.

In the four-year campaign, although she set out to plant 20 billion saplings, her citizens indicated that they have exceeded the goal of planting 25 billion saplings.

25 million Ethiopians also participated in planting seedlings, digging seedling holes and taking care of the planted ones.

He mentioned that the number of seedlings which were only 40,000 when the campaign started has increased to 121,000 and has reached the capacity of growing 7.6 billion seedlings per year.

Another example is the production seen in selecting the areas needed for planting and preparing them for planting.

Prime Minister Abiy stated that political will and commitment played a key role in this success.

He said that there is still a lot of work to be done, but there is no doubt that the campaign has been successful in creating a green culture in the country.

He mentioned that the fact that cities all over the country now understand the importance of green space and are preparing space for it is an indication of the green culture that has been created.

They also mentioned that this green culture will last for the next generation.

In addition to creating a green culture, the campaign also pointed to the economic contribution of creating job opportunities for 767 thousand citizens.

He reminded that this Ethiopian plantation effort is one of the solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are the cause of global climate change.

Investing in renewable energy such as water, wind, solar and steam power stations is another responsibility of the country to prevent global climate change, the Prime Minister's message explained.
