ENVIRONMENT

The environment sector is critical to Nigeria’s sustainable development, providing solutions for climate change mitigation and environmental protection. The sector is dominated by government-led initiatives, but there are opportunities for investment in private sector-led environmental solutions such as renewable energy, waste management, and biodiversity conservation. Opportunities for investment in the sector include environmental consulting, green technology, and carbon credit trading. Nigeria’s environment trade value is relatively low, but there is potential for growth in the domestic and international markets, particularly as the country faces environmental challenges such as desertification, deforestation, and pollution. Shared value in this sector includes sustainable development, job creation, and climate action. Competitive advantage in this sector includes abundant natural resources, a need for sustainable environmental solutions, and a supportive regulatory environment.
