Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992 to combat climate change. After adoptingrnthe convention states have been negotiating to find an equitable solution for global warming. AtrnCOP 17 in Durban, a negotiation was reached to conclude a legally binding agreement in 2015rnwhich should be implemented in post 2020. As a result the Paris Agreement was adopted inrn2015. Since Ethiopia has signed and ratified the Paris Agreement, the countryis expected tornimplement the Paris Agreement as per its Nationally Determined Contributions. In line with thernmitigation pillars of the first Nationally Determined Contribution, Ethiopia is developing thernagricultural, the forest, hydroelectric power,transport, industry and building sectors. Comparativernlaw shows that a state such as China which legally encourages and obliges Afforestation hasrnrehabilitated its forest resources beginning from 1990s. This thesis by considering therncomparative legal experience of Kenya, Uganda and China on the forestry sector providesrnjustifications for the Green legacy campaign to be translated in to legislation to encourage andrnreward tree planting campaigns in Ethiopia.rnThe thesis by employing doctrinal and qualitative socio legal researchmethodsconcludes to therneffect that Ethiopia is implementing the Paris Agreement under its NDCs, policies andrnlegislations.However constraints on: knowledge management; coordination; and means ofrnimplementation exist.Therefore the research recommends that the government needs to preparernprograms and directives for the synergistic implementation of the Paris Agreement in Ethiopia.Ethiopia needs to undertake strong negotiations on climate change in order to gain support onrnmeans of implementation to implement the Paris Agreement. And the county needs to adapt localrntechnologies, solicit private finance and exert effort on educating about climate change for therneffective implementation of the Paris Agreement.
