Abstract:
‐ Ethiopia has been at the forefront of climate action since launching the Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) in 2011, a low‐carbon development strategy. ‐ Early years of CRGE prioritised the economic foundations while the health impacts of climate change have only been tentatively considered to date and remain detached from broader health strategies. ‐ Further analysis integrating adaptation measures, health co‐benefits of non‐health interventions and ways to reduce specific vulnerabilities of the health sector could help identify synergies and build resilience to climate change in Ethiopia. ‐ The current conflict in the Tigray region presents an ongoing risk of wider destabilisation across the country. ‐ Post‐conflict reconstruction and development efforts to follow should seek to better integrate the climate resilience dimension into the health system.
