The Green Legacy Initiative in Ethiopia aimed to plant 20 billion seedlings in four years to create a green and climate-resilient country. However, the initiative exceeded expectations, with 25 billion seedlings planted by the end of the four-year period. This initiative not only addresses environmental protection and restoration but also supports goals related to food security and climate change resilience. The government reported that the campaign in 2022 alone planted over 500 million high-value seedlings, contributing to sustainable agriculture and lessening vulnerability to extreme climate events.
