The Federal Government has unveiled Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contribution Implementation Framework (NDC-IF) 2023-2030, as a step towards reaching its set target on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume while speaking at the launch in Abuja, identified finance as an important factor to reaching the set goals.
The document is Nigeria’s NDC Implementation Framework, a medium term tool to help coordinate, monitor, mobilise and track progress on investments needed to achieve the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution NDC goals.
It breaks down 8 key sectors including; Oil and Gas, Industry, Agriculture and Forestry, Power and Transportation, among others into 19 outcomes and 151 outputs for climate change mitigation and adaptation in Nigeria.
With an estimated cost of 189 billion US DOLLARS for its implementation in the next 7 years, the Federal government is asking the international community to assist Nigeria with access to available international funds and investments in low carbon technology.
The framework if properly implemented is expected to increase electricity generation, gas utilisation, improve the use of smart agriculture as well as sustain waste management services, among other benefits.
