On Thursday, 28th May 2024, the Energy Transition Office in collaboration with the Ford Foundation and the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC) convened Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Community Based Organisations (CBOs), Government agencies and the private sector to discuss the impact of Climate Change, Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan and strategies for climate action.
Discussions highlighted the collective and individual responsibility to address the effects of climate change, the need for effective communication and synergy between government, Community Based Organisations, Civil Society Organisations, communities, and other stakeholders for a just and inclusive energy transition. Another critical need highlighted was the need for financing to implement projects at community level for climate action including ultimately drive the success of the Energy Transition Plan (ETP).
