Nigeria to host Global South workshop on climate action, energy transition

Latest reports suggest that Nigeria is set to host a major workshop on Climate Action and Just Energy Transition in Abuja early this week.

Put together by the Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI) in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, the National Council on Climate Change Secretariat, the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), and the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Foundation, the high-level workshop will bring together government leaders, private sector stakeholders, civil society organisations, and international partners.

Among other things, the event is intended to explore how Nigeria can develop its own Country Platform for Climate Action (CPCA), a coordinated national framework to drive low-emission growth, mobilise climate finance, and ensure a just, inclusive energy transition.

The workshop will draw lessons from countries such as South Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Senegal, which are already implementing Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs).

“This convening is not just about knowledge-sharing,” said Dr Olumide Abimbola, founder and director of the Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI). “It is about defining Nigeria’s leadership role in Africa’s climate future and ensuring that our energy transition is equitable, homegrown, and economically sound.”

Insights from the two-day workshop will directly contribute to Nigeria’s forthcoming National Development Plan (2026-2030) and help mainstream climate priorities across key sectors, including power, transportation, agriculture, industry, and finance.

In the lead-up to the event, the Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI) has released a background paper offering practical pathways for Nigeria’s transition. The document presents lessons from global case studies and outlines bold, locally relevant strategies for implementing a coordinated, fundable, and inclusive climate framework across industries.
