Minister of Environment, Sharon Ikeazor, has said that the Nigerian Energy Calculator (NECAL) would serve as an evidence-based tool for the country to plan its strategies for climate change.
The minister said this at the launch of the second edition of the Nigeria Energy Calculator (NECAL) 2050, in Abuja. “I am more elated knowing that the completion of this policy tool could not have come at a better time than now.”
She said NECAL was one of the tools used and informed the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and its Sustainable Energy for All Action Agenda (Vision 2030).
Ikeazor noted that the development and adaptation of the tool to the Nigerian environment was led by the Energy Commission of Nigeria and the resulting Nigerian Energy Calculator.
He words: “Towards this end, the ministry, as the national coordinating body of climate activities will leverage on this tool for policy and decision making for the implementation of Nigeria’s long-term strategy for climate change under the Paris Agreement, as well as identify realistic solutions towards supporting the implementation of Nigeria’s National Determined Contributions (NDCs).
She said she looked forward to the utilisation of this policy tool to address and support the development of Nigeria’s long-term low-emissions towards meeting the Net Zero commitment by 2060.
