As Nigeria becomes more prosperous and its population grows, more housing and home products will be needed. Projects responding to this focus area will help enable the financing and adoption of healthier, more energy efficient and sustainable buildings and appliances by boosting knowledge, awareness and expertise amongst key stakeholders at national and sub-national level.
Nigerian ecosystems (such as mangroves in the Niger-Delta) are constantly under threat from climate change, impacting the wellbeing and resilience of the millions of citizens whose livelihoods depend on farming and fisheries. Agriculture, forestry and land-use account for about 25% of total emissions, making Nature-Based Solutions another priority area in Nigeria’s NDC. Projects in this area will help accelerate the adoption of sustainable land management practices that have a climate mitigation impact.
