SNAP - SUPPORTING NATIONAL ACTION AND PLANNING ON SLCPs NIGERIA

Nigeria is implementing the SNAP initiative by establishing a coordination office within the Federal Ministry of Environment to identify emission sources and develop a national action plan. The process involves integrating the LEAP-IBC tool to model the impacts of emission scenarios on health, climate, and crop yields. Priority sectors for mitigation include cookstoves, agriculture, transport, brick kilns, and the oil and gas industry, with a focus on improving regulation, enforcement, and legislative frameworks to align with Nigeria's Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs).

• Nigeria has established an 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 development partners.
• The government is utilizing the LEAP-IBC tool, supported by the Stockholm Environment Institute, to calculate SLCP emissions and assess how different mitigation scenarios affect food security, health, agriculture, and climate change.
• Specific priority sectors for SLCP action in Nigeria include the oil and gas industry, transport, agriculture, cookstoves, and brick kilns. Current efforts include replacing traditional brick kilns with clean-burning units, reducing methane from livestock manure, and phasing out lead and sulphur in transport fuels.
• A critical challenge in the oil and gas sector is that existing fines for regulatory non-compliance are insufficient to incentivize companies to comply, leading to efforts to escalate the issue to the highest levels of government.
• The national action plan relies on a division of labor where the legislative arm creates or amends laws, the executive arm implements decisions and provides funding, and the national planning commission is engaged to ensure budget allocations for mitigation strategies.
