In new Net Zero show, Dr. Thomas Minda says extreme weather events and crop failures for 4 years require policies to save lives and protect livelihoods in Ethiopia.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ethiopia is vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including increases in average temperature and changes in precipitation. The country is striving to be climate neutral. Overhauling its rural economy to support more sustainable agriculture and regenerate degraded forests is part of the plan to achieve this.
In the new Net Zero show, Net Zero Speaks With Thomas Minda, scientist, educator, researcher and climate leader based at Arba Minch University in Ethiopia, Minda discusses with Climate Activist Barry Nyuydze Berry the impact of weather and climate on Ethiopia's agricultural sector.
"For the last 4 years the crops in Ethiopia have failed," says Thomas Minda. "In Ethiopia climate change must be integrated into school curriculum." Minda also discusses Ethiopia's need to transition to renewable energy: "We are a mountainous country which is conducive to hydropower."
