The Climate Change Act 2021 is Nigeria's first statute that provides a comprehensive coordination framework for climate-change mitigation and adaptation, climate finance, carbon management and mainstreaming of climate action at the national level across government and the wider economy. The Act also set up the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), established a dedicated Secretariat, established the Climate Change Fund, implemented carbon-budgeting mechanisms and mandated the creation of a National Climate Change Action Plan. Thus, its implementation in the years of 2021-2025 offers a valuable case study for the study of the relationship between legal institutionalization and state capacity and policy implementation in a federal developing state. The article does this by documentary evidence drawn from the Climate Change Act, Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of Nigeria, National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), the World Bank (WB), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and related peer-reviewed scholarly works during the period under evaluation. It is centred on four pillars of state capacity: institutional capacity, coordination capacity, technical and information capacity and financial and enforcement capacity. The evidence suggests that there was significant institutional development in Nigeria over the period. The NCCC became the highest-level climate body, a new Secretariat was created, the national planning process was more closely linked to climate, the NDC was enhanced, the Energy Transition Plan was put together, and the climate finance machinery was further developed, while national agencies were increasingly involved in climate data and planning processes. But implementation was not uniform. The statutory architecture is more sophisticated and difficult to operationalize in any coordinated, measurable and enforceable manner at ministerial, departmental, agency, state and local levels. Challenges encompassed institutional mandates that overlap, inadequate vertical coordination, limited data and monitoring, domestic climate finance limitations, reliance on external technical support, subnational capacity gaps, as well as the trade-offs between climate and Nigeria's fiscal and hydrocarbon energy reliance. The article states that the challenge for the principal implementation during 2021–2025 was not the lack of climate policy but the mismatch between a policy framework and the state capacity to implement it. This needs to be supported by more effective intergovernmental coordination, shared accountability, integrated monitoring and verification frameworks, climate finance predictability and increased institutional capacity at subnational and local levels.
