ADDIS ABABA, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on Tuesday reaffirmed its continued commitment to support Ethiopia's green growth development. According to the ministry, the signing of the agreement is expected to provide a new impetus in realizing Ethiopia's commitments towards the prevention of climate change. The five-year Memorandum of Understanding is designed to strengthen and coordinate Ethiopia's efforts in minimizing the impact of climate change. UNEP, which has been working with the Ethiopian government on green development agendas, is mainly expected to provide technical and capacity building support for Ethiopia's endeavors in reducing the impacts of climate change. The Global Green Growth Week 2017, which was held in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa last October, had considered Ethiopia's ambitious green economy strategy, called the Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE), as an example for the global community.
