Nigeria’s development is climate constrained. From rapidly expanding desert in the North to recurrent floods, erosion and ocean surge in the South, climatic change represents a clear and present danger. Despite mounting evidence, responses from government and civil society in Nigeria remain inadequate.  

Nigeria requires powerful coalitions to promote the development of policy instruments, increase access to climate change information and forge clearer positions on international negotiations. This will form the basis for climate change adaptation and mitigation at individual, social, and corporate levels, and better position Nigeria in the international climate change arena.  

Nigeriacan brings together influential change champions under the umbrella of a coalition that will identify innovative entry points and resources that assist in mainstreaming climate policies and programmes. A key strategy is to recognise policy change opportunities where quick gains can be delivered through the proactive efforts of critical voices and media interventions.  



Ending gas flaring will create the basis for sustainable electricity supply, reduce environmental problems in the Niger Delta and help mitigate climate change.
