At the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of its long-term goals, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) embody efforts by each country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
In 2021, Nigeria updated its NDCs to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), reaffirming its commitment to limit global warming to below two °C in line with the Paris Agreement. Nigeria demonstrates strong public and private sector participation in its climate action efforts, aiming to contribute significantly to global emission reduction targets.
This introduction forms the agenda of the Nigeria Stocktake project towards implementing the third NDC.
