Abstract

This study evaluates the potential impact of carbon markets on climate change mitigation and sustainable development in Nigeria, focusing on stakeholder perspectives in Anambra State. Carbon markets have been recognized as a tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering economic growth, but their implementation in Nigeria faces challenges related to regulatory enforcement, institutional readiness, and market stability. Using a mixed-methods approach, stakeholder perceptions were analyzed through descriptive statistics and a one-sample t-test. Findings indicate strong confidence in the effectiveness of carbon markets for climate change mitigation, with a mean score of 3.88, while their role in promoting sustainable development received a higher endorsement, with a mean score of 4.05. The t-test confirmed that both mean values significantly exceeded the neutral midpoint of 3 (p
