Peer-Learning Workshop on the Subnational Climate Governance Rating and Ranking.

The Society for Planet and Prosperity and the Department of Climate Change, Federal Ministry of Environment, with support from the University of Bristol, convened Honourable Commissioners of Environment and Climate Change for a Peer-Learning Workshop on the Subnational Climate Governance Rating and Ranking.

• The workshop promoted peer-to-peer learning and collaboration, aiming to strengthen policymakers’ capacity to design, implement and sustain subnational climate projects and initiatives.
• Participants shared best practices, surfaced common challenges, and agreed on practical steps to improve climate governance, monitoring and the long-term sustainability of climate actions across their states.
• The Subnational Climate Governance Rating and Ranking is a performance assessment framework designed to evaluate how Nigerian states are advancing climate governance. It provides evidence-based insights into policy readiness, institutional coordination, implementation mechanisms, and transparency, while encouraging healthy competition, accountability, and continuous improvement in state-level climate action.
