Kano State has reinforced its position as a leader in subnational climate governance following a strategic departmental meeting of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
A key highlight was the Stateβs intensified support for Nigeriaβs Second Biennial Transparency Report (BTR2) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Ongoing collaboration with sectoral MDAs across Energy, AFOLU, Waste, and Industrial Processes is ensuring credible, harmonized greenhouse gas emissions data in line with the Paris Agreement transparency requirements.
In a major milestone, Kano has been selected as one of three pilot states under the UK PACT programme to develop a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system. The initiative will institutionalize structured emissions reporting, strengthen accountability, and support tracking of Nigeriaβs Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
The Ministry has also commenced preparations for the 3rd Edition of the Climate Governance Performance Ranking to enhance methodological rigor, peer learning, transparency, and stakeholder engagement.
Further consolidating Kanoβs leadership, the Honorable Commissioner for Environment has been appointed Regional Lead (North West) of the Community of Practice for Environment and Climate Change, strengthening regional collaboration and policy coordination.
The Ministry remains committed to strengthening institutional systems, enhancing emissions transparency, and advancing coordinated climate action across Nigeria.
Signed:
Dr. Umar Saleh Anka
Director, Climate Change
Kano State Ministry of Environment and Climate Change
