NESG Radio

Author: The Nigerian Economic Summit Group

The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) is Nigerias foremost private sector-led think-tank and policy advocacy institution. At the NESG, our work in providing fact-based advocacy has allowed us to prioritize and use our voices to encourage different actors to come together to dialogue on critical socio-economic issues. Only through conversations, interventions, and innovation will we change the landscape in Nigeria and across Africa. Nevertheless, only a well-informed and united people make a great nation. Millions of Nigerias vibrant and talented 200 million population, do not effectively speak, understand or write English. The ones that do may be saturated with misinformation in this current digital world. The NESG Radio is a traditionally syndicated podcast that will effectively inform our people with curated localized content. Our weekly podcasts will help communicate critical information such as economic policies, ideas, health information, trends, and interventions to Nigerians.

Climate Action and Implementation: Turning Commitments into Results
Episode 1
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025

The 30th Conference of the Parties (COP 30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), taking place in 2025 in Belém, Brazil, marks a defining moment in global climate governance. With less than five years to 2030—the target year for most climate and Sustainable Development Goals—this milestone conference is expected to focus on accelerating implementation of climate commitments and strengthening accountability mechanisms across countries. For Nigeria and other developing economies, the urgency of climate action extends beyond policy dialogues to practical implementation that safeguards livelihoods, builds resilience, and fosters sustainable economic transformation. Although Nigeria has made several high-level commitments—such as the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the Energy Transition Plan (ETP), and the National Climate Change Act—the gap between ambition and implementation remains wide. This podcast seeks to stimulate a national conversation on how Nigeria can transition from commitment to concrete action. It will explore: · The state of Nigeria’s climate implementation efforts, including institutional coordination, financing, and stakeholder engagement; · The role of innovation, private investment, and local communities in delivering measurable climate results; and · The policy priorities for ensuring that Nigeria’s climate ambitions align with economic growth and inclusive development. The discussion aims to raise awareness among policymakers, businesses, and citizens on the collective responsibility to drive climate implementation at scale—building a sustainable, climate-resilient future for all.
