Einbeziehung von Klimaschutzmassnahmen in die Arbeit des nigerianischen Bundesministeriums für Industrie, Handel und Investitionen

The report identifies a significant gap in the integration of climate action within Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment (FMITI), noting that while high-level executive interest exists, bureaucratic capacity and policy coherence are lacking. It highlights contradictions between Nigeria's climate commitments, such as its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) targeting a 45% emissions reduction by 2030, and its continued state-led investment in oil exploration. The document argues that the FMITI must align industrial and trade policies with environmental goals, leveraging carbon markets and public-private partnerships to transition away from fossil fuel dependence. It recommends the development of a new 'green' industrial policy and draws on South Africa's experience with the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) as a model for coordinated national strategy and international funding.

• There is a substantial disconnect between Nigeria's high-level climate commitments and the operational reality within the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment (FMITI), where climate considerations are not effectively mainstreamed.
• Nigerian policy exhibits significant incoherence, exemplified by the simultaneous pursuit of emissions reductions and expanded oil exploration.
• The FMITI suffers from severe internal capacity deficits, including a lack of expertise in climate issues and poor internal communication, which hinders the implementation of climate-related policies.
• Nigeria's heavy economic reliance on the oil and gas sector creates political and geopolitical risks that resist the energy transition, as powerful elites and vested interests often oppose decarbonization.
• Stakeholders identify carbon markets as a critical mechanism for providing Nigerian industries with the financial incentives necessary to adopt sustainable practices and meet global standards.
