Nigeria is making measurable progress in tackling land degradation and climate vulnerability through the Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) Project, one of the largest integrated landscape restoration initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa, supported by the World Bank. The project is designed to increase sustainable landscape management practices and strengthen the enabling environment for climate resilience. At its Mid-Term Review (MTR) in April 2026, the project demonstrated strong results across environmental restoration, community resilience and institutional strengthening, while contributing directly to Nigeria’s climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.
