A high-level investment summit on Nigeria’s climate transition agenda and policy strides, including the recently unveiled carbon market framework, will be held in London, United Kingdom, in June this year.
The Nigeria Climate Investment Summit (NCIS), designed as a series of global engagements, is being organised by SOStainability and GLOBE Legislators as part of the 2026 London Climate Action Week (LCAW).
A statement by Oke Epia, CEO of SOStainability, said the summit is designed to position Nigeria to take advantage of the enormous investment promotion and climate financing opportunities that LCAW offers by bringing investors, international finance institutions, policy makers and regulators, innovators, climate advocates, the global business community, and investment-ready countries like Nigeria together, to explore opportunities in climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience.
The summit will convene several specially curated segments, including policy dialogue, technical presentations, investment showcase, and innovation exhibition. There will also be targeted investor engagements to match funding with market-ready opportunities.
The statement said the summit will deliver a pipeline of productive and sustainable outcomes, including collaborations and exchanges in climate financing, abatement technologies, community resilience, and technical support to aid the implementation of Nigeria’s carbon market framework and the fulfilment of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
The summit will bring together senior Nigerian officials, including climate regulators, legislators, and private sector leaders from the UK, Europe, and the Global North, as well as international and development finance institutions, parliamentarians from foreign countries, and policy leaders within the GLOBE network.
The statement said: “SOStainability is excited to co-host this high-level Nigeria climate investment summit with GLOBE Legislators as a special platform for the country to engage the world’s capital of climate finance, green investments flow, innovative technologies, and knowledge exchange opportunities in advancing the fulfilment of its climate ambitions as expressed, for example, in the carbon market framework and other policy initiatives.
“By bringing a high-level delegation of legislators, ministers, heads of regulatory agencies, and other top officials in the public and private sectors to the London Climate Action Week for a specific engagement focused on harnessing opportunities presented by Nigeria’s climate investment readiness, the GLOBE Legislators and SOStainability partnership is beginning a series of specially curated engagements across the world to strengthen Nigeria’s position as a leader in climate policy formulation and implementation in the Global South and beyond.
“The Nigeria climate investment summit has been deliberately integrated into the LCAW, given its established role as a major global convening on climate transition action and diplomacy, and to take advantage of London as the global transition finance centre.
“The summit is designed to drive meaningful conversations and lock in the required investments and tailored technical partnerships on Nigeria’s recently launched carbon market framework and updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).”
