Vision

Our vision is to be a leading policy research center on the economics of climate and environment and a focal point for interactions among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and civil society; thereby contributing to poverty reduction and sustainable development in Ethiopia.

Areas of contribution

The Environment and Climate Research Centre’s research focuses on policy-relevant research on the economics of climate change, environment, energy, natural resource management, and sustainable development in general in the context of Ethiopia. It undertakes real-time impact evaluation of the CRGE implementation. The center’s policy research and impact evaluation program focus on sustainable energy transition, forest management, agriculture, industrialization and green growth, and sustainable urbanization.

ECRC, EfD Ethiopia, has become a focal point for collaboration between domestic and international institutions. The center has partnerships with the Environment Forest and Climate Change Commission (EEFCC), the Ministry of Finance and Economic Cooperation (MoFEC), the World Bank, the Ethiopian Environment and Forestry Research Institute (EEFRI), and other stakeholders.
