Enhancing Private Sector Capacity for Climate and Clean Air Action in Nigeria project

The project targets SMEs in logistics, infrastructure, and transport in Nigeria to address the lack of technical capacity and finance that hinders climate action. It aims to provide tools for emissions measurement, climate-aligned investment planning, and regulatory alignment with Nigeria's Climate Change Act and NDCs. The initiative is implemented through five workstreams, including the development of carbon market toolkits and B2G dialogue reports, focusing on project locations in Abuja and Enugu.

• The Nigerian transport sector is a significant source of emissions, contributing to air pollution linked to more than 200,000 premature deaths every year, with a particular impact on vulnerable populations.
• Private sector participation in climate action, specifically among SMEs in transport, infrastructure, and logistics, is currently limited by unclear regulations, poor access to finance, and weak technical capacity.
• The project's objectives include enabling the private sector to measure and reduce emissions, plan investments aligned with climate goals, and establish partnerships for sustainable solutions.
• The initiative is structured around five workstreams to deliver specific outputs, including training manuals for emissions assessment, a practical guide for climate finance-ready projects, a carbon market participation toolkit, and regulatory roadmaps for private sector compliance.
• A core goal of the project is to create a framework that integrates the contributions of the private sector into Nigeria's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Climate Change Act.
