Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged nations to take decisive and practical steps to combat climate change, warning it cannot be solved in a conference room.
Speaking at the launch of Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative in Addis Ababa, Shettima praised Ethiopia’s bold efforts to plant 20 billion trees in four years.
He highlighted the need for each country to address its unique ecological challenges and commended Ethiopia for setting a powerful example.
