Abstract

To achieve its climate targets and maintain sustainable development, Nigeria must shift to a low-carbon economy. Nigeria’s transition to net-zero emissions is examined in this publication, which discusses low-carbon design and technologies. It thoroughly examines important sectors, such as transportation, industry, energy, and agriculture, emphasizing the contribution that sustainable practices, energy efficiency, and renewable energy sources can make to reducing carbon emissions. The publication also looks at the difficulties and barriers associated with implementing low-carbon solutions, offering creative ideas and new frameworks for policy. Through case studies and sectoral analysis, it outlines strategies for incorporating low-carbon technologies into Nigeria’s development objectives. The results highlight the significance of international cooperation, government backing, and technical innovation in attaining a low-carbon and sustainable future for Nigeria.
