Ambassador Seleshi Bekele, Ethiopian Ambassador to the United States, engages in a conversation with Ideagen CEO George Sifakis to shed light on Ethiopia's commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With expertise in the SDGs and having been present during their creation in 2015, Ambassador Bekele positions Ethiopia as a role model for economic and social progress.
Recognized as one of the world's fastest-growing economies, Ambassador Bekele attributes this success to transformative reforms in the technology and health sectors, fostering an environment conducive to investment.
Moreover, Ambassador Bekele highlights the crucial role of the agricultural economy in Ethiopia, not only in driving economic advancement for its citizens but also in addressing climate challenges. Ethiopia aims to become a global food exporter while undertaking ambitious agroforestry initiatives, exemplified by their commitment to planting 5 billion trees annually. Currently, Ethiopia has already planted an impressive 28 billion trees.
Finally, Ambassador Bekele and George delve into Ethiopia's impressive renewable energy capacity, boasting a remarkable 97% reliance on renewable sources. Through these sustainable reforms, Ambassador Bekele underscores the investment opportunities and economic potential that an emerging nation like Ethiopia presents.
