Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh has asserted that Ethiopia is poised to lead Africa's transition toward sustainable transport following the launch of the Green Mobility 2025 exhibition. Speaking at the opening of the forum today, the Deputy Prime Minister described the event as a landmark in the nation's historic journey to restore its natural environment and establish a low-carbon economy. He emphasized that the initiative is part of a broader mission to ensure the next generation inherits a nation that is both comfortable and environmentally resilient.
The exhibition serves as a showcase for the latest advancements in green transit technology, acting as a strategic bridge to foster collaboration between the state, private investors, and the general public. By harmonizing Ethiopia's renewable energy potential with modern mobility solutions, the government aims to cement the country's status as a continental frontrunner in the green industrial transition. This shift is expected to significantly reduce carbon emissions while modernizing the national transport and logistics sectors.
Central to this environmental strategy is the expansion of electric vehicle infrastructure, integrated alongside the ongoing success of the Green Legacy reforestation program. These measures are designed to mitigate Ethiopia's vulnerability to climate change through practical, action-driven development. Temesgen noted that the success of this vision extends beyond government policy, requiring a fundamental shift in national culture and mindset, as well as a collective commitment from every institution and individual to meet the ecological demands of the current era.
The Deputy Prime Minister concluded by highlighting that the government's focus on green growth is driven by a profound responsibility toward the well-being of future generations. He reaffirmed that the state would maintain its leading role in this transformation, ensuring that Ethiopias path to prosperity remains rooted in sustainability across all sectors. By combining technological innovation with environmental stewardship, the country seeks to set a definitive benchmark for modern, eco-friendly development across the continent.
