Abstract

The IPCC established that there is accord that the increase of heat tricking gases in the atmosphere will result for climate change ultimately will cause the sea level rise, increased incidence of extreme climatic events including intense storms, flood events and droughts. Therefore, presence of frequent climate-related hazards is causing loss of life and property, social disruption and economic hardships in the Ethiopia. Some scholars investigated that change in climate will have effect on the agricultural productivity, thus food insecurity. Susceptibility is aggravated in Ethiopia due to low adaptive capacity, practices rain-oriented mono-cropping system, widespread poverty and low technology uptake. This paper reviews on agroforestry for sustainable agriculture and climate change adaptation and mitigation in Ethiopia.
