National Convening on Debt Sustainability & Climate Finance

Nigeria can't afford to look away. The debt conversation is urgent, and you need to be in the room.

This 1-day, solutions-driven event brings together policymakers, youth leaders, and development practitioners to unpack Nigeria's rising debt profile and its real impact on social development and climate resilience.

At this national convening, we will:

• Present new research on Nigeria's debt landscape and how debt servicing affects essential services—including climate action
• Launch policy position papers that provide evidence-based recommendations
• Host youth-led dialogues on transparency, climate-related fiscal risks, and national priorities
• Build actionable recommendations for a more sustainable financial future

If you care about governance, development, climate justice, and Nigeria's future, this is where your voice matters.

This convening is a critical platform for stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue about Nigeria's fiscal challenges and opportunities. Together, we can shape a more transparent, inclusive, and sustainable future for our nation.
