National Climate Change Policy – Nigeria (2013)

The Nigeria Climate Change Policy Response and Strategy (NCCPRS) document is the output of a national participatory and stakeholders consultative approach to put in place a well-defined national climate change response framework and implementation plan that incorporates critical elements of mitigation and adaptation. It contains policy elements and short, medium and longer term national strategies that will enable the country to mainstream mitigation and adaptation into its national development efforts. This is to enable Nigeria to respond effectively to the impacts of climate change to reduce its vulnerability and enhance its resilience so that the national priorities of rapid economic growth, energy sufficiency, job creation, food security and transparent and accountable climate change governance will be properly addressed.
