Abstract (2. Language):
Nigeria’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) submission on emission reduction to the2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement was examined and analyzed by this study and the conclusion of these efforts is that Nigeria’s (INDCs) are strategic blue prints for transiting the country from high intensive carbon dependent development to low-carbon, green and equitable growth development. The high points of these pledge to inclusive green growth and development include reduction from business as usual carbon dependent economic growth, ending gas flaring, investing in renewable technology, energy efficiency, rapid moving rail system; low emitting mass transport driven by buses, smart agriculture plus ensuring that forests are conserved through efficient afforestation and reforestation programs. This paper recognizes Nigeria’s (INDCs) as very visionary and strategic for archiving low-carbon and green growth development for Nigeria but this can only happen if the country follows up with a strong political will for full implementation, pay the necessary costs, be committed to policy, investment, economic, environmental and financial implications of the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) plan. As INDC is only a plan, it is dead on arrival without diligent implementation.
