REAN Joins Stakeholders to Advance Nigeria’s Carbon Market
The Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria (REAN) participated in the High-Level Roundtable on Operationalising Nigeria’s Carbon Markets through Robust Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV), held on 6 - 7 October 2026 in Abuja.
The roundtable was convened by the Delegation of the European Union to Nigeria and ECOWAS and the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), with GIZ supporting the coordination under the European Union Climate Dialogues (EUCDs2) programme.
The discussions focused on strengthening Nigeria’s carbon market through effective MRV systems, transparency, integrity and accountability, while aligning stakeholder efforts around the National Carbon Markets Framework and developing a roadmap for its operationalisation.
For REAN, the engagement provided an opportunity to contribute to conversations around climate finance, carbon markets and the role of renewable energy in advancing Nigeria’s climate and sustainable development goals, reinforcing its commitment to policy discussions that support renewable energy investment and Nigeria’s transition to a sustainable and low-carbon economy.
