The Federal Government of Nigeria through the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC) with support from 2050 Pathway Platform has developed Nigeria’s Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategy (LT-LEDS).
The final draft of the LT-LEDS, prepared and submitted by a local Consortium, was tabled for endorsement at a stakeholders’ validation workshop held in Abuja on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
The aim is to elevate and promote national leadership on tackling climate crisis through a synergistic effort anchored on a long-term future with low carbon growth and resilience building on the 2050 Agenda.
Dr. Eugene Itua, as the National Coordinator and Lead Consultant in the development of LT-LEDS, provided itsoverview and processes, while Prof. Chuks Okereke, who lead the mitigation Modeling under the DDP project, presented a paper on Nigeria’s emission profile and its mitigation pathway, showing how industry frameworks and smart technologies can help create new sustainable sectors and accelerate a just transition.
