Abstract
Climate change is
continuing all over the world including Ethiopia. This research investigates
the efficacy of Ethiopian law in responding climate change. It employed
qualitative research methodology whereby international legal instruments as
well as literature have been analysed. Relevant national legal instruments and
literature have also been investigated. The research found that no
comprehensive climate change law is available and the regulation of the issue
is left to diverse laws, strategies and plans. It identified that the
implementation is not satisfactory, in general. It recommends comprehensive law
to be enacted by the Ethiopian Government and bring the duties of regulation
into one institute.
