Kurzbericht Peer Learning Workshop des Globalen Südens zu Länderplattformen und einer gerechten Energiewende

The report summarizes a peer learning workshop held in Abuja on April 29-30, 2025, focused on designing a 'Country Platform' for Nigeria to manage Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) and climate action. It argues that Nigeria should avoid replicating donor-driven models, instead creating a state-owned, multi-stakeholder platform that integrates climate goals with national development, job creation, and energy access.

• Nigeria's current policy environment for energy and climate is described as 'complex and fragmented', citing the Electricity Act 2023, Petroleum Industry Act, Energy Transition Plan (ETP), and Climate Change Act as requiring harmonization to prevent overlapping strategies from undermining donor confidence and private investment.
• The proposed Country Platform should be politically anchored, preferably under a presidential mandate, and avoid being a 'donor-driven replica' of other JETPs. It should draw on South Africa's Presidential Climate Commission for governance and accountability, while ensuring vertical coordination with subnational entities, particularly oil-producing states.
• Financial challenges in Nigeria are attributed to weak coordination and institutional readiness rather than a lack of available funds. The report notes that even well-funded initiatives, such as South Africa's $8.5 billion JETP, struggle to move from pledges to projects, and Nigeria lacks a single 'front door' to interface with carbon markets and climate funds.
• Climate action must be reframed as a development strategy prioritizing co-benefits like food security, industrial growth, and social protection. This includes the need for reskilling programs and safety nets for workers in oil-dependent jobs and the meaningful inclusion of local communities in oil-producing areas.
• Nigeria must navigate global geopolitical pressures, including the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and political uncertainty in the United States. The report suggests leveraging regional blocs such as the AU, ECOWAS, and OPEC to secure better terms for technology transfer and financing.
