SNAP - SUPPORTING NATIONAL ACTION AND PLANNING ON SLCPs NIGERIA

This fact sheet describes Nigeria's participation in the Supporting National Action and Planning on Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SNAP) initiative, detailing the establishment of a national coordination office, the use of the LEAP-IBC tool for emission modeling, and the identification of priority sectors for mitigation.

• Nigeria has established a dedicated SLCP coordination office within the Federal Ministry of Environment's Renewable Energy Programme to manage national planning and institutional strengthening. This office coordinates with various ministries—including agriculture, transport, and work and housing—as well as NGOs and community organizations to raise awareness and secure support for SLCP issues.
• The Nigerian government is implementing the LEAP-IBC tool to calculate emissions from major sources and assess the resulting impacts on health, climate, and crop yields. This tool is intended to inform policy planning and evaluate different greenhouse gas and air pollution mitigation scenarios.
• Nigeria has identified five priority sectors for SLCP action: cookstoves, agriculture, transport, brick kilns, and the oil and gas industry. Specific initiatives include replacing traditional brick kilns with clean-burning units, improving livestock manure management to reduce methane, and phasing out lead and high-sulphur fuels in transport.
• The document highlights a lack of effective incentives for the oil and gas industry, noting that current fines for regulatory non-compliance are insufficient to force company adherence. Nigeria is collaborating with the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) to elevate this issue to the highest levels of government.
• The national action plan involves a division of labor between government branches: the legislative arm is responsible for creating or amending laws, while the executive arm is tasked with implementation and funding. The office is also advocating for the inclusion of SLCP mitigation funding within the national budget via the national planning commission.
