NCMAP
Implementation Status

As Secretary to the NCMAP Committee, the SSAP-CFSE is working with the Intergovernmental Committee for the Activation of Nigeria’s Carbon Markets.
The NCMAP comprises an intergovernmental committee set up by the President to oversee the development of the country’s carbon market policy framework. The committee is chaired by the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and co-chaired by the Director General/CEO, NCCC.

Carbon markets are climate finance mechanisms that help countries meet their NDCs. They are crucial for addressing climate change by creating economic incentives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, facilitating investments in clean technologies, and promoting sustainable development. They work by putting a price on carbon emissions, encouraging businesses and nations to reduce their carbon footprint.
