Abstract

Nigeria’s per capital emission figures and aggregated greenhouse gases concentration are projected to grow exponentially under the normal economic growth scenario. Climate system interference and declining productive arable land questions the capability of existing natural resource stock to support a projected population in excess of 300 million by 2050. Stabilizing greenhouse gases emission and preserving the ecosystem sustainability requires confronting every scale of environmental degradation through robust and resilient green-growth strategies. Formulating adaptation and mitigations strategies for deploying innovative low carbon policies, yet institutional framework with legislative backing and non-governmental actors are germane in mobilising wholescale solutions to overcome bottlenecks affecting immediate and long-term transition to low-carbon climate change resilient society. With the desirability of attaining its voluntary NDC, the feasibility of navigating pathways centred on the political thrust, inclusive diplomacy and proven policies to address developmental challenges, submission/attainments can be skewed to interpretations linked to partisan manifestos if independent third-party assessments are lacking. Synthesizing this paper will reveal Nigeria performance through a broad systematic data evaluation to accentuate contextual interpretations, national milestones, gaps and how impacts are localized on the subnational structures.
