P4G 2027 Summit will spotlight green industrialization, climate-resilient agriculture & inclusive transition: PM Abiy

Addis Ababa, April 18, 2025, 2025 (FMC) — Partnership for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit has been a rallying point for our collectivism to accelerate green growth, foster innovative partnerships and deliver on the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed underscored.

Prime Minister Abiy expressed gratitude for receiving the torch accrediting Ethiopia as the host of the 5th Summit of the Alliance for Green Growth and Global Goals 2030 (P4G) in 2027.

The premier said in a speech delivered at the conclusion of 4th P4G Summit in Vietnam, Hanoi on Thursday, that “We embrace this opportunity with determination and unwavering commitment to build on the inspiring legacy of Vietnam, Colombia, Denmark and the Republic of Korea. Guided by p4G’s core principles of partnership, innovation, inclusivity and action,” the premier affirmed.

Ethiopia’s 2027 summit will spotlight green industrialization, climate resilience agriculture and the empowerment of youth and women as essential agents of change in the green transition, Prime Minister Abiy noted.

He extended Ethiopia’s profound gratitude to the government and people of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for their warm hospitality and meticulous organization in hosting this important summit.

This gathering has been more than a meeting of minds, Abiy said noting that the summit has been a rallying point for our collectivism to accelerate green growth, foster innovative partnerships and deliver on the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals.

“Over the past few days, we have witnessed the Power of unity and diversity, governments, businesses and civic society coming together to catalyze action in clean energy, the circular economy, climate smart agriculture and inclusive development.”

Prime Minister Abiy said though Ethiopia remains among the countries most vulnerable to climate change; “we are also among the most committed. We have set an ambitious course toward the climate resilient Net Zero economy by 2050 aligned with agenda 2030 and the African Union agenda 2063.”

Ethiopia’s climate resilient green economy strategy, the green legacy initiative, and its expanding renewable energy portfolio, reflect the country’s dedication to this vision, Prime Minister Abiy underlined. “But no country can confront the climate crisis alone, the paths forward demands collective leadership and urgent action,” he urged.

Ethiopia has been a resolve in the commitment of the ideals and objectives of the P4G partnership, and has proudly contributed to the platform since its inception in 2018.

“We believe in its unique value as a bridge between public policy and private sector innovation through collaborative projects in food systems, renewable energy, resilient cities and the circular economy, we have seen what is possible when we walk together.”

As a founding P4G member and partly to key climate agreements, Ethiopia remains committed for advancing green recovery and sustainable development, Prime Minister Abiy affirmed.

“As we depart Hanoi, let us carry with us the spirit of partnership, the momentum of ambition and the conviction that green growth is not a distant goal, but a shared imperative,” he urged.
