The GES screened over 150 GHG abatement technologies against cost criteria and conditions in Ethiopia, coming up with an investment plan of over 60 initiatives that can be turned into bankable projects in order to attract international climate finance. The GES’s bold proposition is that, by 2030, there is potential for per-person GDP to increase by 475%, from USD 380 to more than USD 1,800 GDP per capita, while at the same time decreasing GHG emissions on a per capita basis from 1.81 to l.lt CC>2e - over a third. A more deliberate focus on social equity and poverty reduction considerations can maximise the ‘winners’ and minimise possible ‘losers’ from embarking on green growth pathways, as well as ensure the widest range of sectors and livelihoods are embraced and mobilised, in particular with respect to land access and changes in land user rights.
