a. Reference year(s), base year(s),
reference period(s) or other starting
point(s)
b. Quantifiable information on the
reference indicators, their values in the
reference year(s), base year(s), reference
period(s) or other starting point(s), and, as
applicable, in the target year
c. For strategies, plans and actions
referred to in Article 4, paragraph 6, of the
Paris Agreement, or polices and

paragraph 1(b) above is not applicable,
Parties to provide other relevant
information
d. Target relative to the reference
indicator, expressed numerically, for
2015 INDC comparison
point, including, as appropriate, a base year
The reference year for the target is 2030.
The objective is expressed as a reduction in total
emissions from BAU by 2030, with a base data period
of 2010-2014.
Total absolute GHG emissions in the base year
2010 were 263.0 Mt CO2e and estimated
emissions per capita were around 2 tonnes
CO2e.
Under a business-as-usual growth scenario,
consistent with strong economic growth of 5%
per year, Nigeria's emissions are expected to
grow to around 900 million tonnes per year in
2030, which translates to around 3.4 tonnes per
person.

(NDC) of Nigeria
The reference year for the target is 2030.
The objective is expressed as a reduction in total
emissions from BAU by 2030, with a base data period.
of 2010-2018.
Total absolute GHG emissions in the base year
were restated and grew from 247 million tonnes
COe in 2010 to 347 million tonnes CO2e in
2018.
Under a business-as-usual growth scenario,
Nigeria's emissions are expected to grow to
around 450 million tonnes per year in 2030/
which translates to around 1.55 tonnes per
person.
