Climate change in Ethiopia is affecting the people in Ethiopia due to increased floods, heat waves and infectious diseases. [4] In the Awash basin in central Ethiopia floods and droughts are common. Agriculture in the basin is mainly rainfed (without irrigation systems). This applies to around 98% of total cropland as of 2012.
Ethiopia's climate is predicted to warm between 0.7°C and 2.3°C by the ed of the 2020s and between 1.4°C and 2.9°C by the 2050s. The county's vulnerability to climate change could increase poverty and dependency on rain-fed agriculture.
As a result of climate change, droughts have become more common, rainfall patterns have become more erratic, and other extreme weather events have occurred.

Ethiopia's agriculture is plagued by periodic drought, soil degradation [1] caused by overgrazing, deforestation, high levels of taxation and poor infrastructure (making it ...
Climate change will accelerate the prevalence of pests and diseases and increase the occurrence of highly impactful events. [195] The impacts of climate change on agricultural production in Africa will have serious implications for food security and livelihoods. Between 2014 and 2018, Africa had the highest levels of food insecurity in the ...
