Nigeria passed the Climate Change Act 2021, which established a carbon budgeting system and offered a structured method for achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.
In addition, the nation unveiled its Nationally Determined Contributions, committing to a reduction of 20% in emissions without exception by 2030 and an extra 47% with support from other countries.
Nigeria wants to do away with gas flaring by 2030 and cut fugitive emissions by 95% by 2050, according to the Oil and Gas Methane Regulations 2023.
