Climate action and policy initiatives in Nigeria

Overview

Climate discussions in Nigeria have transitioned from continental implementation strategies to specific regional frameworks.

In mid-October, the fourth Africa Climate Forum was scheduled to convene in Abuja. Organized by the Global Centre for Law, Business and Economy, the forum aimed to move dialogue from ambitious pledges toward practical implementation through public-private collaboration. Key focus areas included carbon markets, energy access, food security, and the use of digital technologies for climate monitoring.

Following this, the North-West Climate Summit in Abuja saw the North-West Development Commission call for a unified coordination mechanism across seven states. To combat threats like desertification, drought, and flooding, the summit proposed the ‘North-West Climate Initiative.’ This framework includes the creation of a Climate Academy, a Climate Investment Marketplace, and a Climate Fund to protect regional agriculture and infrastructure.
