Climate Justice and the Just Transition

As extreme weather intensifies, climate justice frames the transition away from carbon as a fairness and livelihoods question. For Nigeria, that means protecting jobs, supporting vulnerable communities, and investing in resilient infrastructure. A just transition prioritizes affordable energy access, clean technology deployment, and local participation in policy design. It also demands transparency in climate finance so funds reach frontline areas. Timelines are tight: decisive action this decade can reduce losses, open green opportunities, and position communities to thrive in a low-carbon future.
