Mass Tree Planting: Prospects for a Green Legacy in Ethiopia

Cover

Ethiopia’s forests have been declining due to agricultural conversion, increased wood extraction for fuel and construction and livestock overgrazing. The country has several high-profile tree-planting programmes, including the Green Legacy Initiative (GLI), which aims to re-green the country, improve local livelihoods and build climate resilience.

This report examines how the GLI and other such programmes could achieve positive outcomes in the post-COVID-19 recovery. This includes the best ways to plant the right trees in the right places with the right incentives for the right people to take care of them.
