“Expanding the Green Bond Initiative, which has already mobilized over N57 billion for low-carbon projects, creating jobs in sustainable sectors

 

“Increasing the share of renewable energy in the national energy mix to 30% by 2030, potentially opening up new industries and job markets.

 

“Establishing a Research and Innovation Fund to support startups and entrepreneurs in the green technology sector,” he stated.

 

The president stressed that achieving net zero was not just an environmental imperative but also an economic opportunity, potentially creating new jobs and improving quality of life for all Nigerians.

 

The President’s strategy also includes strengthening international partnerships to attract investments and open new markets for Nigerian products and services in the global green economy.

 

“The path to net zero is not just a policy goal; it is a national imperative,” he said, highlighting the administration’s commitment to balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship.

 

President Tinubu views the challenges posed by climate change as opportunities for economic diversification and innovation.

 

By focusing on green finance, carbon pricing, and technological innovation, the government aims to position Nigeria as a leader in the emerging global green economy.

 

He emphasised that achieving the net zero target requires collective effort from government, businesses, and individuals, promising a future where “economic growth and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.”

 

He commended Netzence Sustainability Limited for its leadership in this area and pledging government support through various ministries and agencies to accelerate Nigeria’s path to net zero emissions.
