Good practices and lessons learned: The Government's decision to improve public transport infrastructure such as light rail lines in Lagos-Calabar, Lagos-Kaduna, Lagos-Ibadan, and Katsina-Daura, will help reduce vehicle emissions. The country's populace need to be educated on the need to pay (without subsidies) for construction of infrastructure. Communication needs to be improved between the Government and the citizens, to provide information on the nation's progress on its intended nationally determined contribution.

Description: The report is to examine how Nigeria is progressing on its intended nationally determined contribution to the COP-UNFCCC. The report aims to inform Government, citizens, and relevant stakeholders on the need to monitor the progress of Africa's most populous and largest economic nation, on its INDC. The report also highlights achievements, success stories, and shortcomings of Nigeria as regards action on climate change.

NWPOutcome: Nigeria is a crude oil producing nation, and as such flares a significant amount of gas; about 8 billion metric tonnes of gas is flared yearly according to the World Bank 2016 report on Global Gas Flaring. The countries legislation is working to pass the, 2016 Gas flaring prohibition and punishment bill, in to law.
The country's decayed public transport infrastructure has played a role in the number of vehicles plying Nigerian roads. The country had 11.5 million registered vehicles in 2016. These vehicles contribute a high amount of methane to the environment. The country needs to improve the rail, and water transportation system, however, this has been hindered by lack of finance for the works.
The country's target of generating 13 GW of solar PV by 2030 is also under threat due to lack of investments by the private sector and the Government cannot afford it at the moment. This lack of investments is likely due to a lack of trust in Government's ability to allow pricing to be decided by cost of production.
The practice of climate friendly agriculture is also a challenge. 90 percent of cattle farming is done through pastoral method. According to the country's ministry of Agriculture - Livestock census 2016, the country has, 12.5 million cattle. This implies the country's cattle produces about 1.8 million metric tons of CO2E in 2016.
The Government must overcome these challenges and find ways (some were suggested by the report) of achieving the 2030 vision.
