The Lagos State Government has unveiled the Climate Investment Opportunities Diagnostic, a new policy document designed to connect environmental priorities with actionable investment strategies for building a resilient, low-carbon future.
The launch was the highlight of the 11th Lagos International Climate Change Summit, themed “Blue Economy, Green Money: Financing Africa’s Coastal Resilience and Ocean Innovation.”
The summit, held in Lagos, focused on unlocking the vast potential of the state’s blue economy , a vital artery of commerce, a source of livelihoods, and an essential part of Lagos’ identity.
Representatives at the event, including the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, and the representative of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Dayo Mobereola, emphasized the importance of deliberate efforts to strengthen coastal resilience and promote green and blue financing to unlock Lagos’ economic potential.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu noted that the state is intensifying efforts to preserve its coastal environment through various programmes and initiatives.
He added that the new policy document builds on last year’s Climate Investment Guide, providing a framework to advance Lagos’ commitment to sustainable development and environmental protection.
