Nigeria's National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) is pushing for a transition from linear to circular economic models. The agency is advocating for green financing and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to ensure industrial waste is reused as raw material, reducing the overall environmental footprint of the country's industrial sector. Experts are calling for aggressive decarbonization and a shift away from fossil fuel dependence to combat rising temperatures and food insecurity. The strategy focuses on integrating renewable energy, such as solar power, and improving grid reliability to decrease the reliance on fuel powered generators across the nation.
