UN agency warns recurrent climate shocks in Ethiopia necessitate greater investments


ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) said recurrent climate change-induced shocks underscore the need for greater investments in Ethiopia.

The UNDRR said in a press statement issued late Thursday that the East African country is severely affected by climate-related hazards. Since 2020, the country has faced prolonged drought resulting from consecutive failed rainy seasons, generally happening in the northern, southeastern, and southern parts of Ethiopia.
