Governor of Lagos State

Lagos Is Open for Climate Investment

Africa's largest subnational climate investment pipeline steps onto the global stage

Lagos Climate Investment Day convenes government leaders, development finance institutions, institutional investors and Nigerian business leaders for a single flagship day dedicated to advancing investment in the Lagos climate pipeline.

Lagos unveils its climate investment proposition via its State Determined Contributions (SDC) Framework: more than 300 investment-ready projects and an indicative USD 25–50 billion in climate finance by 2050.

The ambition is to make Lagos Africa’s first Climate Investment Jurisdiction — with a delivery backbone strong enough to turn that ambition into bankable projects investors can back.

The SDC Framework

Five Platforms. One Investment Architecture.

The SDC Framework brings Lagos's highest-impact climate programmes together into five flagship investment platforms, backed by a strong delivery backbone.

1
Integrated Clean Energy &
Clean Cooking

Across Lagos State, solar energy is reaching the places where the city’s future is built and protected; its public schools and its primary healthcare centres. Pupils can learn without interruption, and health workers can serve their communities with dependable power.

2
Blue Economy, Water & Climate Resilience

Mangrove and wetland restoration, coastal protection, flood mitigation, climate-smart fisheries and water security.

3
Circular Economy & Industrial Decarbonisation

Plastic circularity, waste-to-energy, e-waste, organic waste valorisation and green manufacturing. Turning waste into value.

4
Climate-Smart Infrastructure & Urban Transition

Green buildings, sustainable public transport, metro and rail expansion, smart grids and climate-resilient roads.

5
Climate Innovation, Food Systems
& Green Enterprise

Climate-smart agriculture, urban food systems, green MSMEs, climate tech, and youth and women's green enterprise.

Enabling Platform
Climate Intelligence & Investment Infrastructure

A State climate registry, a catalytic fund, accredited climate asset managers and a finance mobilisation engine, so investors get real-time data and trusted integrity.

Africa's first Climate
Investment Jurisdiction
Delivery Is Already Under Way

The SDC Framework builds on real progress on the ground

Climate Finance Preparedness Clinic

Launched in 2026 to turn the State’s climate ambitions into practical, bankable projects. Brought together over 140 financial institutions to deepen understanding of bankable green projects in Lagos and showcase resilient solutions from public sector entities.

Climate Defence and Catalytic Fund

Launched July 2026 as a blended financing mechanism to mobilise, de-risk and unlock private capital. Aims to mobilise up to USD 3 billion annually, supporting project preparation and reducing investment risk.

London Climate Action Week

OCCE hosted an invitation-only investor roundtable on financing SDCs. Mrs Oshodi joined a UNEP FI panel on sustainable finance in emerging markets, presenting the SDC Framework as a model for attracting private capital.

UN General Assembly & Climate Week NYC

Governor Sanwo-Olu unveiled Lagos's climate investment framework at a press conference at The Glasshouse in New York. Mrs Oshodi pitched Lagos as an open destination for local climate finance and invited participants to join at COP31.

🤝
Solarisation of Public Institutions

The Lagos State Electrification Agency (LSEA) has already installed Solar Hubs in 172 public schools, giving pupils and teachers far more reliable electricity. The Green Bond Solar Project now extends solar energy solutions to 100 more public primary and secondary schools. Also, installation of Solar Hubs in primary healthcare centres is underway.

Under2 Coalition MoU

Lagos signed an MoU with Climate Group at London Climate Action Week 2026, formally joining a network of more than 180 states and regions committed to net-zero emissions. Opens doors to climate investment and international partnerships.
