Why should we invest in energy-eficient cooling systems in Nigeria?
Finally, investing in energy-eficient cooling systems will be important for climate action in Nigeria, as the incidence and duration of heat waves grow, particularly in large urban areas exposed to urban heat island efects. Nigeria is already the largest and one of the fastest-growing markets for cooling products in Africa (FSD Africa, ).
Is climate finance a debt based investment in Nigeria?
International public climate finance to Nigeria, which accounts for the bulk of flows, was largely channeled as debt, both concessional (54%) and non-concessional (35%). Reliance on debt-based climate investment is cause for concern, given the country’s already substantial debt burden.
What are corporate climate investments in Nigeria?
Overall, tracked corporate climate investments in Nigeria were largely for small scale solar PV. Mitigation investments remained dominant in Nigeria’s climate finance landscape, totaling USD 1.2 billion, largely due to investment in solar PV.
Do private actors contribute to climate finance in Nigeria?
Similarly, private actors provided a greater share of Nigerian climate finance (30%) than the African average (18%). Overall, tracked corporate climate investments in Nigeria were largely for small scale solar PV.
How does mitigation finance work in Nigeria?
Investments by a mix of public (49%) and private (51%) actors contribute to a relatively wide range of mitigation finance instruments in Nigeria. Equity accounted for 47% of total mitigation finance, largely reflecting corporates investing in renewable energy.
How much does Nigeria spend on climate finance?
Set in a broader context, and relative to opportunities for climate action, Nigeria’s USD 2.5 billion in tracked climate finance is minimal. Representing less than 1% of national GDP5, this amount was almost equivalent to the country’s spending on foreign debt servicing in /22 (USD 2.3 billion) (DMO, ; DMO, ).
