Climate change is of great concern in Ethiopia, especially since the 1970s. Between the mid-1970s and late 2000s, Ethiopia's rainfall in some areas and seasons decreased by 15-20 percent. Furthermore, numerous studies predict climate change will increasingly affect the country's ecosystem, causing drought and famines.
The exact attribution of climate change to the occurrence of droughts and floods in Ethiopia is difficult. One study from 2022 stated for Ethiopia: "While regional models predict increase in rainfall, higher resolution analyses for Ethiopia suggest spatial variations in which there are both increases and decreases in the overall rainfall averages.
Köppen climate classification of climate of Ethiopia. The seasons of Ethiopia consist of four phases: Tsedey (Amharic: ጸደይ, Oromo: Arfaasaa, equivalent to spring) lasting from September to November, Bega (Amharic: በጋ, Oromo: Ganna, equivalent to summer) from December to February, Belg (Amharic: በልግ) (Oromo: Birraa, equivalent to Fall) from March to May and Kiremt (Amharic ...

Köppen climate classification zones of Ethiopia. The climate of Ethiopia and its dependent territories varies greatly. It is temperate on the plateau and hot in the lowlands. The country lies wholly within the tropics, but its nearness to the equator is counterbalanced by the elevation of the land.
It is concerned with the reconstruction of weather and climate and their effect on historical societies, including a culturally influenced history of science and perception. [1] This is done in the broader context of environmental history. This differs from paleoclimatology which encompasses climate change over the entire history of Earth.
