Ethiopian Programme of Adaptation to Climate Change (EPACC)
The EPACC calls for the mainstreaming of climate change into decision-making at a national level and emphasises planning and implementation monitoring. It identifies 20 climate change risks, mainly in the following areas: health risks (human and animal); agriculture production decline; land degradation; water shortages; biodiversity; waste; displacement; distributive justice. The EPACC also identifies institutions responsible for mitigating these risks. Specific adaptation objectives include:
• Reducing impacts of droughts by cloud seeding to induce rain
• Establishing building and construction codes that ensure structures withstand extreme weather events
