Latest reports have shown that Nigeria will host climate change and energy transition advocates across the global south to the peer learning workshop on country platforms for climate action and just energy transition.

Founder and director of Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI), which is organising the event, Dr. Olumide Abimbola, made this known yesterday while addressing newsmen ahead of the workshop which will hold in Abuja.

Abimbola said that the event, scheduled for April 29 to 30, 2025, 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, will bring together government leaders, private sector players, civil society organisations, and international partners.

He said: “at the heart of the event is a shared goal: to explore how Nigeria can design its own Country Platform for Climate Action (CPCA), a coordinated national framework to drive low emission growth, mobilize climate finance, and ensure a just, inclusive energy transition. The workshop will draw lessons from countries like South Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Senegal, which are already implementing Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs).

“This convening is not just about knowledge sharing. It’s about defining Nigeria’s leadership role in Africa’s climate future and ensuring that our energy transition is equitable, homegrown, and economically sound.”

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