Sub-National Climate Governance Survey, 36 States of Nigeria Based on Five Themes (Data)

The CGPR is aimed at producing a comprehensive single ranking of climate governance and actions in states based on internationally recognized criteria for measuring the quality of climate governance at subnational levels with the objectives of highlighting good practices and efforts, spotlighting gaps, and ultimately drawing stakeholders attention to where more efforts and collaborations are necessary.

The rating and ranking exercise is intended to recognize the efforts and achievements of states that are leading the way in climate action with the view to encouraging others to adopt more robust and effective environmental policies. It is also hoped that the project will help promote climate awareness and encourage greater action at the subnational level.
