Lagos Launches Climate Action Week to Boost Investments

Lagos Climate Action Week (LAGCAW) was conceived as an official outcome of the inaugural Nigeria Climate Investment Summit (NCIS), which is part of the London Climate Action Week (LCAW) model established in 2019 by Nick Mabey, co-founder & CEO of E3G, and Malini Mehra, CEO of GLOBE Legislators. The NCIS aims to connect Nigeria with global markets to address its climate investment needs, recognizing the barriers that limit stakeholder participation from developing countries in international climate conferences.

The initiative is organized by GLOBE Legislators in partnership with SOStainability and supported by various international bodies. The model is designed to provide a more effective pathway from climate commitments to tangible development outcomes, particularly for developing nations facing challenges in accessing capital, capacity, and collaboration.
