Sustaining such a pace of growth will entail rapid expansion of the level of activity in key carbon-emitting sectors, such as power, oil and gas, agriculture and transport. In the absence of policies to accompany economic growth with a reduced carbon foot-print, emissions of greenhouse gases could more than double in the next two decades. This study finds that there are several options for Nigeria to achieve the development objectives of vision 20:2020 and beyond, but stabilizing emissions at 2010 levels, and with domestic benefits in the order of 2 percent of GDP. These benefits include cheaper and more diversified electricity sources; more efficient operation of the oil and gas industry; more productive and climate -resilient agriculture; and better transport services, resulting in fuel economies, better air quality, and reduced congestion. The study outlines several actions that the Federal Government could undertake to facilitate the transition towards a low carbon economy, including enhanced governance for climate action, integration of climate consideration in the Agriculture Transformation Agenda, promotion of energy efficiency programs, scale-up of low carbon technologies in power generation (such as renewables an combined cycle gas turbines), and enhance vehicle fuel efficiency. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aSustainable development$zNigeria 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xEconomic aspects$zNigeria 606 $aCarbon dioxide mitigation$xEconomic aspects$zNigeria 606 $aClimatic changes$zNigeria 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aCarbon dioxide mitigation$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes 676 $a338.9669 700 $aCervigni$b Raffaello$0127074 701 $aRogers$b John Allen$01599062 701 $aHenrion$b Max$01599063 801 0$bIEN/DLC 801 1$bIEN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809762903321 996 $aLow-carbon development$93921610 997 $aUNINA
