Denmark pledged it will back Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative.
The pledge came as Ethiopian Foreign Affairs minister, Demeke Mekonnen, conferred with Danish Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy, Dan Jorgensen.
While the Ethiopian side expressed a desire to further strengthen the existing longstanding relationship between the two states, the Danish Minister said Denmark is highly interested in cooperating with Ethiopia in mitigating climate change.
Demeke also explained Ethiopia's unwavering commitment to a carbon-free planet, which the world is aspiring for, by focusing on the practical efforts of Ethiopia to mitigate climate change through the National Green Legacy Initiative, a program with which over 25 billion seedlings have been planted in Ethiopia in the last five years.
Minster Dan Jorgensen on his part expressed Denmark’s readiness to back Ethiopia's Green Legacy Initiative.
