Since the development of the National Climate Change Policy and Response Strategy (NCCPRS) in 2012, the global discourse on climate change has evolved leading to the adoption of new initiatives that have been domesticated to guide national response to reducing the impact and adapting to the challenge.
The National Climate Change Policy (NCCP) review process was conducted within a national participatory process through the engagement and consistent consultation with relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies at Federal and State levels, private sector operators and the community, using workshops and questionnaires as a tool to reach out and collate information. This approach was undertaken in order to put in place a well-defined national climate change implementation framework and programmatic action plan that incorporates short, medium and long term mitigation and adaptation strategies to assist build a climate resilient nation.
