Chilling Prospects: Sustainable cooling in buildings and cities – Nigeria case study

Nigeria faces a significant cooling access gap, with 53 percent of its population at high risk from high temperatures. To address this, the country is implementing sustainable cooling initiatives, including the 2017 Nigeria Building Energy Efficiency Code, which prioritizes passive design and efficient building systems to reduce energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions.

• Approximately 114.9 million people in Nigeria, representing 53 percent of the total population, are at high risk due to high temperatures, a situation linked to poverty and a lack of reliable electricity.
