Water Security
Ensure sustainable access to clean water for the people and ecosystems. Protect freshwater sources from saltwater intrusion, flooding, and promote efficient water management.
Nembe LGA Climate Action & Development Plan
Nembe LGA Community Driven Path to a Climate Smart Future
The Nembe Local Government Area Climate Action and Development Plan presents a bold, community‑driven vision for a sustainable future. It outlines practical steps to strengthen resilience against the growing impacts of climate change while reducing local greenhouse gas emissions.
Developed through broad consultations with traditional leaders, women and youth groups, civil society organizations, and other community stakeholders, the plan blends local wisdom with scientific insight to make sure every action is realistic and inclusive.
🌿 Building a Climate‑Resilient Future for All
The mangrove forests and wetlands of Nembe are living defenses against climate change. When healthy, they absorb carbon, shield coastlines from erosion, and sustain fisheries and livelihoods. When damaged by oil spills, illegal logging, or fires, they become sources of greenhouse gases.
Protecting and restoring these habitats is central to Nembe’s strategy. Investing in ecosystem‑based adaptation reduces vulnerability, safeguards biodiversity, revives livelihoods, and enhances carbon storage.
🎯 Our Climate Goals for a Resilient Nembe
Ecosystem Resilience
Protect and restore mangroves, wetlands, and biodiversity to support livelihoods and strengthen natural climate defenses.
Climate Resilient Infrastructure
Develop low‑carbon, durable, and inclusive infrastructure from homes and roads to flood control systems built to withstand climate stress.
Climate‑Smart Agriculture
Empower farmers and fishers with adaptive, sustainable practices that improve productivity, conserve soil and water, and ensure food security.
Carbon Reduction & Restoration
Cut emissions and increase carbon storage through conservation and restoration of mangroves, forests, and wetlands.
Education & Awareness
Promote environmental education and awareness programs across schools and local groups to build long-term understanding and inspire collective climate action.
