Climate Change Opportunities to Nigeria
Clear opportunities exist for REDD
North-South and South-South collaboration will enable
Nigeria to benefit from financ ial and technical assistance
We may benefit from internatio nal early warning systems e.g.
Eumetsat satellite monitoring etc. which can be useful in
preventing famine, bushfires, water crisis and protecting
wildlife. Technical know -how in this field is essential for good
forest governance.
There will be carbon market op portunities for commercial
forest plantation developers a nd community based plantation
developers, giving credibility to investments in the forest
sector if the anticipated benefits become real.
Locally, forest coverage and a ssociated benefits will
mprove.
