This guide describes an economic model developed by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and AllOn to analyze the Nigerian solar upstream value chain. The tool evaluates the economic viability, job creation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions associated with three market scenarios: the importation of products, local assembly, and local manufacturing of solar home systems (SHS) and mini-grids.

This policy brief introduces the Transnational Climate Impacts (TCI) Index, a framework developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute to measure country-level exposure to climate risks that cross national borders. The brief argues that globalization connects countries through biophysical, financial, human, and trade pathways, meaning that even wealthy nations with low direct physical vulnerability can be highly exposed to transnational climate risks. It recommends that the UNFCCC and national governments integrate these transnational dimensions into adaptation planning and finance to ensure global economic stability.
