Nigeria has recently reaffirmed its dedication to combating climate change by renewing its commitment to the Climate Change Fund, a pivotal component of the nation’s Climate Change Act of 2021. This fund is designed to support initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting sustainable development, and enhancing the country’s resilience to climate impacts. By bolstering the Climate Change Fund, Nigeria aims to facilitate the implementation of its National Climate Change Action Plan, which includes establishing a five-year carbon budget with specific annual targets.

This renewed commitment underscores Nigeria’s proactive approach to addressing climate challenges and signifies a strategic move towards integrating climate action into its broader economic transformation agenda.
