PM Abiy Meets Belgian Counterpart at Ethiopian Green Legacy Pavilion in Dubai 

Addis Ababa, December 1/ 2023 (ENA): Ahead of COP28, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo at the Ethiopian Green Legacy Pavilion on the sidelines of COP28 in Dubai. 

The two leaders discussed current domestic issues and bilateral cooperation, according to Office of the Prime Minister. 

“Good meeting with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo at the Ethiopian Green Legacy Pavilion on the sidelines of COP28 in an exchange on bilateral cooperation,” Premier Abiy said on his Facebook page.

The United Nation’s annual climate summit is under way in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).  

Ethiopia is featuring its Green Legacy-related development initiatives at the Ethiopia Pavilion in the Green Zone at the conference.  

The Pavilion shows Ethiopia’s efforts and commitments in tackling climate change and enabling food security.   

 

With more than 60,000 attendees, the two-week-long affair is billed as the largest-ever climate gathering.

With so much at stake, the Dubai conference is a decisive moment to turn climate plans into ambitious action and turn the tide against the climate crisis. 

On the first day of the conference, World leaders approved a climate disaster fund that will help vulnerable nations cope with the impact of drought, floods and rising seawater.

The agreement is a great opportunity, as it will see rich nations financially support developing countries that are affected by climate change-linked disasters.
