In a bid to insulate its agricultural sector from escalating climate risks, the federal government is positioning Nigeria to access global climate finance through green bonds, carbon markets, and sustainable debt instruments.
This funding strategy is expected to power climate-smart agricultural reforms as the country races to protect its food supply chain.
The initiative was spotlighted at a high-level stakeholder dialogue in Abuja, themed ‘Bringing together stakeholders to advance the alignment between food systems transformation and climate action’.
Speaking at the stakeholder dialogue, Doris Uzoka-Anite, minister of State for Budget and Economic Planning, reiterated that through coordinated action, evidence-based interventions, and shared accountability, Nigeria has continued to achieve measurable progress geared towards building food systems that are inclusive, equitable, and capable of delivering better nutrition, a better environment, and better livelihoods.
The minister informed participants that Nigeria is being positioned to access climate finance through green bonds, carbon markets, and sustainable finance instruments.
