The recently submitted NDC document shows that Nigeria has proposed a stronger NDC than it last did in 2015.

In the updated NDC, the Nigerian government has proposed to mitigate four greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide , Methane , nitrous oxide and hydrofluorocarbons , as against the three GHG proposed in the previous NDC submitted.

GHG is explained as any gas that has the property of absorbing infrared radiation emitted from earth’s surface and reradiating it back to earth’s surface, thus contributing to greenhouse effects. “The GHG mitigation assessment has been expanded to cover 11 pollutants in total, including short-lived climate pollutants and their air pollutants to evaluate the co-benefits of mitigation measures in reducing these substances, alongside GHGs,” Nigeria’s NDC final document states.
