About the Programme

Following the ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2017, Nigeria committed itself to conditionally reduce its greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions by 47% in 2030 in line with its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledge (Revised figure).

To support Nigeria’s mitigation and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 on “climate action” efforts, the European Union, under its Global Public Goods and Challenges Thematic Programmes, is funding the Nigerian Climate Change Response Programme (NCCRP).

The NCCRP also promotes progress towards goals 7 “affordable and clean energy” and 5 “gender equality”.

The Conseil Santé Consortium collaborates with the Department of Climate Change, Federal Ministry of Environment to implement the NCCRP.
