The article reviews international and national policy responses to combat global warming and climate change in Nigeria, particularly in light of oil exploration and gas flaring in the Niger Delta. It emphasizes the need for Nigeria to better align its efforts with global agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement. By implementing reforms like the Nigeria Gas Flare Commercialisation Programme and the Climate Change Act of 2021, Nigeria aims to reduce gas flaring and mitigate environmental degradation. This aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13), which focuses on taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. To explore more, refer to Gasu et al.
