The “National Climate Change Policy for Nigeria 2021” is a landmark document that sets the framework for managing climate change impacts and steering Nigeria towards sustainable development and a greener future. This policy outlines the country’s strategies and actions for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing climate resilience, and integrating climate change considerations into national planning and development processes.
Developed in response to global climate agreements and the urgent need for action within national borders, this policy is a testament to Nigeria’s commitment to addressing climate change challenges head-on. It aims to mobilize resources, foster partnerships, and implement effective measures across various sectors to achieve Nigeria’s climate goals and contribute to global efforts in combating climate change.
The document serves as a guide for government agencies, private sector stakeholders, and civil society in aligning their activities with the nation’s climate objectives.
