West Africa in Context
West Africa’s agricultural GHG emissions (2017)
- 226 million tons CO2e/yr, or
- 24% of Africa’s agricultural GHG emissions
- 4% of global agricultural GHG emissions
(FAOSTAT 2020)
Agriculture contributes 23% of WA’s emissions
Livestock, rice, open burning are biggest emitters in
agriculture
By 2050, West Africa’s’ populations ~double.
Nigeria will be the 3rd largest country globally (733
M).

Nationally Determined Contributions
in Africa
Inclusion of agriculture in
mitigation targets: nearly all countries
except Liberia, Guinea-Bissau
Top three needs for successful
NDC implementation in Africa:
• external finance
• technology, and
• capacity building.

PRACTICAL APPROACH-EXPERT ASSISTANCE SUPPORT
CCAC SolutionCentre funding was provided to Nigeria
in support of its efforts to implement agricultural SLCP
measures to:
 determine the historical and current patterns of open
burning in order to identify communities where
partnerships can be formed with governmental, non-
governmental, and local actors to reduce and eliminate
this unnecessary and damaging fire
The SolutionCentre provides small-scale funding to
help developing countries achieve a real outcome, such
as a policy or other action that can lead to emissions
reductions.

SUPPORTING STRENGTHENED COORDINATION AT THE
NATIONAL LEVEL
ccacoalition.org18
Agriculture Institutional Strengthening
Coordination is being supported in Nigeria and
inVietnam to sustainably increase the level of
action to reduce SLCPs from the sector by
further promoting coordination and scaling-up
of activities at the national level

Dr. David Omotosho, John Davison Associates
Chris Malley, Stockholm Environment Institute

NIGERIA’S NATIONAL SLCP PLANNING PROCESS
ccacoalition.org32
 Initiative through CCAC’s Supporting NationalAction & Planning on
SLCP mitigation (SNAP) initiative
 Coordinated by Climate Change Department of Federal Ministry of
Environment
 Aims were to:
 Identify major sources of SLCPs, air pollutants and GHGs
 Identify, evaluate and prioritise mitigation options to reduce SLCPs
 Develop action plan to take forward priority SLCP mitigation
measures
 Involved extensive stakeholder engagement
 Final NationalSLCP Plan was endorsed by Federal Executive Council in
May 2019

SLCP SOURCES ANALYSIS: METHODS
ccacoalition.org33
 Inventory of dominant SLCPs using the LEAP
Integrated Benefit Calculator; variousActivity Data
and emission factors.
 Quantify emissions of SLCPs (methane, black carbon),
other air pollutants and GHGs
 Data availability significant limitation for analysis
 IPCCTier 1 methodologies primarily used for methane
and GHG emissions
 EMEP/EEATier 1 methodologies used for air pollutant
emissions
 FAOStat data was used where national data could not
be identified.

AGRICULTURE SECTOR ANALYSIS: RESULTS
ccacoalition.org34
 Historical emissions from agriculture
 Place agricultural emissions in context of emissions
from all other source sectors
 Agriculture makes substantial contribution to
methane emissions
 Also major source of ammonia emissions, and first
time these emissions had been quantified

IDENTIFICATION OF MITIGATION MEASURES
ccacoalition.org35
 Selecting mitigation measures
 Reviewed national policies, plans and strategies in all sectors
 Reviewed international reports such as UNEP/WMO 2011 assessment
 Identified measures with following criteria
 Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
 Alignment with ECOWAS “Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Agenda” and the “Better Air Quality Agreement” (BAQ).
 SLCP emission reduction potentials
 Alignment with National and Sector priorities
 Operational Feasibility
 Technical Feasibility
 Funding Feasibility
 Socio - Cultural acceptability

GENERAL ANALYSIS: MITIGATION MEASURES
ccacoalition.org36
 22 mitigation measures
identified across 8 source
sectors
 4 priority mitigation
measures in agriculture

EFFECTS OF MITIGATION MEASURES
ccacoalition.org37
 Overall measures are
effective at reducing
emissions of SLCPs,
GHGs and air
pollutants

EFFECTS OF MITIGATION MEASURES
ccacoalition.org38
 Overall measures are
effective at reducing
emissions of SLCPs,GHGs
and air pollutants
 Methane reduction from
agriculture estimated to be
~50% lower in 2030 than
baseline scenario

CONCLUSIONS
ccacoalition.org39
 Lack of data large barrier to more detailed integrated air pollution and climate change
assessments in agriculture and other sectors
 Building capacity in national institutions needed for analysis to be developed and used in
national planning processes
 Assessment needs to be linked to national planning process to influence decision making (next
presentation)

AFRICA ASSESSMENT OF AIR POLLUTION, CLIMATE
CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT
ccacoalition.org40
 CCAC Assessment of air pollution, climate change and
development inAfrica aims to assess
 how development inAfrica can proceed at the same
as limiting air pollution and impacts on health and
agriculture
 Understand the potential to limit climate change in
the near-term and its implications for adaptation to
climate change in Africa

AFRICA ASSESSMENT OF AIR POLLUTION, CLIMATE
CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT
ccacoalition.org41
 Modelling will be undertaken to
 Develop scenarios based on different development
trajectories for Africa and assess air pollution and
climate change implications of scenarios
 Model will be done at national scale for allAfrican
countries, and made openly available to all providing
opportunity to be used as basis for national planning

LAND USE AND CLIMATE CHANGE:
IMPLICATION OF LAND USE AND CLIMATE CHANGE ON
AGRICULTURE IN NIGERIA
ccacoalition.org54
Cyril Bikom, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development

INTRODUCTION
ccacoalition.org55
 Nigeria’s land area of approximately 924,000 square kilometers supports a
population of about 200 million people and is devoted to a number of competing
uses which include agricultural, urban development, industrial and commercial
development.
 Agriculture remains a key component of the Nigerian economy, accounting for
an average of 24% of the Nigerian GDP, employing about 70% of the active
population and also the main pillar for the attainment of food security as well as
source of raw materials and fiber to local industries in the country. Nigeria's
agriculture is dominated by smallholder farmers who account for over 90 percent
of the national food production. Over 90% of agricultural production is rain-fed
and sensitive to climate variability and change.

LAND USE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
ccacoalition.org56
Land use involves:
i. The management and modification of the natural environment into
built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements.
i. The arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake
in a certain land cover type to produce change or maintain it .
Agricultural land use in Nigeria can be categorized into uses that are:
i. arable crop production, forestry related, grazing land, fish pond and tourism.
The agriculture and forestry land use (AFOLU) contributes over 60% of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Nigeria due to the fact that over
90% of smallholder farmers clear and burn farmland residues.
 Climate Change: Climate change has been identified as a major threat to sustainable
development and growth of Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Government has demonstrated
action in reduction of emissions in the agriculture sector through NDC sector action plan that
envisage emissions reduction by deploying climate smart agriculture (CSA).

ccacoalition.org57
CONCLUSION
The action plan required to reduce SLCP emission in the
agricultural sector include:
i. Mapping of vulnerable areas with predominant open air
burning
ii. Promotion of agricultural waste and residuces for
energy (eg waste-to-watt using bio-gas to generate
electricity and organic fertilizer)
iii. Establishment of pilot demonstration plots on
Conservation Agricultural practices to reduce open bush
burning
iv. Sensitization and advocacy on open bush burning
v. Strengthening existing policies against bush burning in
States.
vi. Training of farmers on Conservation Agricultural
practices

BACKGROUND
Ruminant livestock industries produce meat,
milk, leather, and generate large volumes of
waste water and solid wastes that could be
beneficial or harmful to the environment.The
waste products which include gases, excreta and
associated feed losses, beddings, wash -water
and other such waste materials represent a
valuable resource that if used wisely, can replace
significant amounts of inorganic fertilizers but
may be a direct threat to human and animal
health (Taiganides, 2002).

ccacoalition.org61
CATTLE BREED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME (CABIP)
Nigeria is currently embarking on intensification of
ruminant animal production especially cattle
through the cattle breed improvement programme
(CABIP).
The main objective of Cattle Breed Improvement
Programme is to upgrade/crossbreed the local
indigenous low milk-yielding cows by breeding
through artificial insemination (A.I) with the use of
selected high pedigree frozen semen of exotic
breeds of cattle resulting in upgraded/crossbred
progeny with an improved genetic make-up with
better milk yielding capacity.

ccacoalition.org62
CATTLE BREED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME (CABIP)
Implementation of CABIP is expected to lead to increased
cattle production in Nigerian peri-urban centres and
creation of Pastoralists settlements/ranches in grazing
reserves. It is envisaged to curb incessant crop
farmers/pastoralists clashes, meet local demand for
animal source protein, generate employment and reduce
import bill on food such as milk. It is also expected to lead
to an increased level of GHG and SLCPs emission.
It is in view of the need to reduce the attendant increase
in GHG emissions in its cattle breed improvement
programme that the Department of Animal Husbandry
Services, FMARD has built in measures that would
mitigate effects of GHG and SLCPs emission

SLCP MITIGATION MEASURES
ccacoalition.org63
These measures include:
i. Production of standard operating procedure manuals for
beef and dairy farmers, processors and marketers in
collaboration with Nigeria Institute of Animal Science (NIAS).
ii. Good animal husbandry practices including proper housing,
feed production optimization, practice dietary amendments
like addition of salt to feed and proper stock feeding.
Proper milking of cows to support a healthy and productive
life.
iii. Harvesting forage at an early maturity stage – promotion
of use of forage cutters and choppers.

ccacoalition.org64
iv. Processing of crop residues for utilization as
supplementary feed in ruminants.
v. Forage pelleting.
vi. Construction of anaerobic effluent digesters
in cattle and pig clusters nationwide for proper
effluent management, domestic gas and
electricity production in dairy cattle clusters.
vii. Cross cutting measures
- Careful application of synthetic and manure
based fertilizers.
- Proper irrigation and drainage.

ccacoalition.org65
Additional actions that could be endorsed to increase implementation of
SLCP emission reduction measures nationwide include:i. Ensuring
more efficient nutrition.
ii. Using continuous genetic improvement to produce more efficient
animals such as reproductively sound, smaller, lighter in colour, high feed to
meat conversion, high feed to milk conversion and milk output and
substantial tolerance to disease.
iii. Modifying systems of production in order to leave a smaller
carbon footprint with less emission, lower energy requirements and fewer
waste products.
iv. Breeding more drought-resistant crops and pastures for dairy
consumption.
v. Implementing friendly environmental and more effective farming
practices.
vi. Adopting housing systems that reduce emissions.

RICE VALUE CHAIN
ccacoalition.org67
Dr. Fatima Aliyu, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development

OVERVIEW OF RICE PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA
ccacoalition.org68
 Rice is a strategic staple food crop for achieving food and nutrition security and economic
diversification in Nigeria. RiceValue Chain section of the Federal ministry of agriculture and
rural development (FMARD) has the broad objective of developing the whole rice value
chain for the achievement of self-sufficiecy for food and nutrition security, income
generation and employment creation among others .
 Rice value chain implements government policies as well as develop a vibrant rice sector that
attracts both domestic and foreign investors in order to achieve those objectives.
 Demand for rice is 7 million MT based on a 35kg per capita consumption and a population of
200 million. estimated Annual production in 2018 was 6.5 million metric tons
 Seventeen percent of Nigeria rice production is under low land irrigated conditions.
Currently the government is making efforts to expand area under irrigated rice production
by rehabilitating irrigation facilities.

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
ccacoalition.org69
 It is well documented that rice production and the burning of husk from rice milling are
contributors to green house gas emissions (GHG)
 Nigerian has taken this into consideration and has included measures to mitigate the
effect of rice production on the climate in its National Rice Development Strategy (NRDSII)
2020-2030.The measures include the promotion of alternative wet and dry (AWD)
irrigation method and urea deep placement (UDP) technology
 Others include the adoption of the protocols of the sustainable rice platform (SRP).With
the support of GIZ Nigeria is currently in the process of establishing its SRP secretariat. GIZ
have trained some extension agents on the SRP protocol
 FMARD and its partners are training farmers on good agricultural practices which entails
proper use of inputs especially fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.
 Promotion on the use of organic fertilizers and herbicides to reduce soil degradation water
pollution and protect health of farm families.

SLCP MITIGATION ACTIVITIES
ccacoalition.org70
Promotion of alternative uses for rice husks instead of burning.These include making
them into briquettes for use as energy source for parboiling paddy, incorporation into
animal feed and building material.
• All these activities are expected to contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions
from rice production in the country.
• It will result in sustainable rice production for enhanced food and nutrition security
as well as clean environment.
• It is hoped that CCAC will support Nigeria in the implementation of these actives
in order to achieve our objectives in the rice sector and also SDG goals of no
hunger, no poverty reduction, clean environment, gender equality and
partnerships for progress.

INTRODUCTION – REDUCTION OF ENTERIC METHANE
ccacoalition.org73
One of the possible ways of reducing greenhouse gasses (GHGs)/Short lived climate pollutants (SLCPs)
emission from livestock is by ensuring improved animal health, which will inadvertently enhance
productivity of livestock activities such as increase in dairy production and processing leading a reduction of
the anthropogenic greenhouse gasses (GHGs)/short lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) that causes negative
impact on the environment as well as contributing to climate change (McDermott et al. 2010).
 It has been established that the major limiting factor against the maximization of the potentials of
animal rearing, production and productivity in Nigeria as is the case globally, is the preponderance of a
wide range of diseases and pests including emerging and re-emerging pathogens that afflict them

A developed national strategy for the control of ruminant disease will ensure improved animal health services
especially in ruminants by establishing strong herd-health that guarantees increased livestock production and
productivity in Nigeria. Livestock constitute a relative increase in the percentage of greenhouse gasses emission
through their excreta or manures. Improved animal health will immensely transform the livestock sector and
enhance livestock wellbeing and this will invariably boost their efficiency thereby resulting in a reduced short lived
climate pollutants.
The expected tangible results or output would be to ensure that animal health systems are founded on the bases of
good governance to enabled appropriate legislation and enforcement to maximize production and to mitigate
greenhouse gasses (GHGs) or short lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) emissions.
Climate Change: Climate change has been identified as a major threat to sustainable development and growth
of Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Government has demonstrated action in reduction of emissions in the
agriculture sector through NDC sector action plan that envisage emissions reduction by deploying climate
smart agriculture (CSA).

CONCLUSION
ccacoalition.org75
 The transformation expected through mainstreaming NDC implementation in the
sector would:
i. Result in reduction of Green house gas/short lived climate pollutants (SLCP) in
animals particularly ruminant production through improved animal health
services.
ii. Adoption of innovative processing of the livestock manures to biogas for
domestic use.

BACKGROUND
ccacoalition.org78
 Plan developed between 2016 and 2019 under the aegis
of the Ministry in charge of the Environment by the
National SLCP Coordination Unit housed within Côte
d’Ivoire Anti-PollutionCentre (CIAPOL);
 Approved by the Minister of the Environment in
November 2019;
 Evaluation of different policies and measures in terms of
their effectiveness in reducing SLCP (black carbon,
methane), air pollutants and GHGs;
 Key source sectors covered: residential, transportation,
agriculture, waste, oil and gas.

AMBITION OF THE PLAN
ccacoalition.org79
• 16 specific mitigation measures included in
the plan agreed in consultations with
stakeholders, 8 focused on black carbon
(BC) sources, 8 on methane (CH4)
Overall, the plan would reduce:
• Black Carbon emission by ~60% in 2030 and
~80% in 2040
• Methane emissions by ~34% in 2030 and ~
50% in 2030 compared to the reference
scenario

AGRICULTURE MEASURES
Measures targeting Black Carbon
Measures targeting Methane

ccacoalition.org81
IMPACTS OF AGRICULTURE MEASURES
• The implementation of these measures
would allow a reduction in Black Carbon
(BC) emissions of 40% by 2030 and 60%
by 2040.
• It would also allow a 26% reduction in
methane emissions from agriculture by
2030 and 28% by 2040.

KEY CHALLENGES
Scarcity of capability and capacity in many parts of the world
• Need to develop pipeline of next generation of science leaders (Masters, PhD, Post-Docs).
• Need research infrastructure
Significant quantification challenge remains
• Emissions vary significantly in time and space
• Activity data inadequate in many countries
• Five of 140 developing countries can routinely capture
livestock GHGs in national GHG inventories
• Five of 22 mitigation actions currently able to be routinely
captured in national GHG inventories in EU countries
Climate change impacts make mitigation more difficult
• Harder to retain carbon in soil (many regions dryer, hotter)
• Reduced quality of crops and forages
• Reduced productivity and yields in already vulnerable regions
Significant growth in demand for nutrition,
fuel, carbon storage, et cetera
• Land use competition can increase
• Synergies between mitigation and other
SDGs possible, but not automatic

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Need to address tension between sector’s roles and objectives, i.e. nutrition
vis-a-vis mitigation vis-a-vis livelihoods.
• To find ways to ‘internationalise’ science investment to maximise
efficiencies and facilitate collaboration.
• Need to work first within existing systems and provide evidence base for
action.
• Need to emphasize co-benefits for sustainable development to achieve buy-
in and remove barriers.
• Need for scaled-up resources (public and private) proportional to the scale of
the challenge.
• Need long-term investment to retain human capability and research
infrastructure.
• More rapid progress in removing siloes between research, agriculture,
environment and development agencies.
