Ethiopia is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Consequently, the government has developed and implemented different policies, strategies, and targeted programmes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance social-ecological resilience. This chapter provides an overview of how Ethiopia’s ethnic-based federal system, established in 1995, has influenced the institutionalization and effective and efficient governance of climate change mitigation and adaptation actions. The adoption of the ethnic-based federal system has created a wide difference in human and natural capital and level of exposure among regions, which has resulted in disproportionate vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. Similarly, the nature of the federation has induced unhealthy development competition between regions that have increased vulnerability. Though the role of the federal system in devolving power to regions and lower administrative structure to design and implement context-specific actions is commendable, it however, requires revising the arrangement to ensure consistent institutionalization and coherent and long-lasting responses to the impacts of climate change and achieve sustainable development.
