The “National Action Plan to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs)” document outlines Nigeria’s comprehensive strategy to address the emission of pollutants that have a significant, but short-term, impact on the climate. Short-lived climate pollutants, including methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons, and tropospheric ozone, are known for their potent warming effects and contributions to air quality issues.
The action plan details Nigeria’s approach to mitigating these emissions through targeted interventions across key sectors such as energy, agriculture, waste management, and transportation. By focusing on SLCPs, Nigeria aims to achieve rapid climate benefits and improve air quality, thereby enhancing public health and contributing to sustainable development goals. The plan includes goals, specific reduction targets, implementation strategies, and monitoring mechanisms to ensure effectiveness and progress.
This document is pivotal for stakeholders across government, industry, and civil society, providing a roadmap for concerted efforts to reduce the environmental and health impacts of SLCPs
