Catriona Laing to Speak at Nigeria Climate Investment Summit

Catriona Laing, the former UK High Commissioner to Nigeria, has been announced as a high-profile speaker at the Nigeria Climate Investment Summit (NCI) in London. Laing, who served as a senior diplomat in Nigeria from 2018 to 2023 and has extensive experience in African affairs, will contribute to discussions aimed at achieving the summit's objectives.

The NCI is designed to present Nigeria's climate policies and highlight investment opportunities in renewable energy, coinciding with London Climate Action Week. The summit will explore pathways for investment in Nigeria's renewable energy transition, particularly following recent policy initiatives such as the launch of the National Carbon Market Framework and the National Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Climate Action Plan.

The event will also facilitate partnerships and broker deals to enhance energy access and support sustainable projects, reaffirming Nigeria's position as a destination for climate finance and green investment.
