Abstract
This article examines Nigeria’s commitment to combating the global scourge of climate change using the sustainable development goals and the Paris Agreement of 2015. Nigeria having signed various global Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) such as the celebrated Paris Climate Change Agreement signed in 2015 on addressing the challenge of climate change such as United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and others, need to be scored on how well it has keyed into the global environmental reality of addressing climate change through its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). This article concludes with recommendations on ways the Nigeria can implement its further obligations under the Paris Agreement.
