The Federal Ministry of Environment and Society for Planet and Prosperity (SPP) have announced a project that will rank states across the country based on their climate governance performance in July 2024.

In a statement, the SPP said that the decision was taken during an inaugural coordination meeting of climate change desk officers from Nigerian states, with the Department of Climate Change (DCC) of the Federal Ministry of Environment Abuja.

Prof. Chukwumerije Okereke, president of the SPP said that the project builds on the mapping of the climate change impact, policy, and action of the states, which was executed by the team last year in collaboration with the DCC and the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).

He said that the current project will provide a single rating and ranking report of the performance of the 36 states of Nigeria. He noted that the rating and ranking were done based on five governance criteria of climate change governance administrative structure, presence or absence of climate policy and action plan, extent of climate change project implementation; extent of incorporation of climate finance in state budgets and online visibility of state’s climate activities.

He further stated that the ranking and rating exercise is based on the responses provided by states commissioners, permanent secretaries, and climate desk officers across the 36 states, as well as extensive independent verification done by the research team and the Department of Climate Change staff.
