    Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan: In Solidarity for a Green World

    Nigeria’s energy transition plan is a critical part of its commitment to sustainable development and climate action, as it outlines Nigeria’s ambitious pathway towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. Launched in August 2022 by Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, it focuses on expanding renewable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and increasing energy access for its rapidly growing population. The COP29 theme, “In Solidarity for a Green World,” underscores the need for global cooperation, equity, and support for countries like Nigeria, which are navigating the dual challenges of energy access and climate mitigation. This theme emphasises the need for a united front in addressing climate change, with particular attention to equity and solidarity. For Nigeria, this means leveraging international partnerships, technology transfer, and climate finance to accelerate its transition towards cleaner energy sources. This podcast explores the country’s journey, challenges, opportunities, and the role of international collaboration in achieving a greener future. It will also discuss how Nigeria’s plan aligns with the broader objectives of COP29, including global decarbonisation efforts and supporting developing countries in their transition to sustainable energy.
