Forests play a vital role in local economies and global climate protection. They cover a third of the planet and host over 80% of biodiversity on land. In Ethiopia, strategic investments in forestry are already driving a green economy while supporting the country’s ambitious goal to halve CO2 emissions by 2025. This offers new opportunities for European actors to engage in Africa’s sustainable forestry movement. In our webinar, we explored how economic growth and environmental protection can go hand in hand.
