About this project
Description
Nigeria ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994. As part of its international commitments under this Convention, the Government of Nigeria ensures regular reporting of climate change related trends and developments in the form of national communications. In 2014, with the financial support of Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and assistance of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) the Federal Ministry of Environment finalized the country's Second National Communication (SNC). The main objective of this project is to enable Nigeria to prepare and submit its Third National Communication in accordance with its commitments as a non-Annex 1 Party to the Convention. It will contribute to the building of information/ knowledge regarding national sources of GHGs, the impacts of climate change on sustainable social and economic development, highlighting the potential which exist for opportunities to abate the emissions, and setting priorities national adaptation measures. It will also result in increased capacity to produce subsequent NCs that meet all guidelines established by the Conference of Parties (CoP) and that can serve as a source of information for national policies and measures in climate change and in key economic and social sectors
Objectives
Strengthening of Nigeria"s technical and institutional capacity to enable it respond effectively to climate change challenges and meet its obligations under the UNFCCC.
