The Ministry Of Environment and Natural Resources Kaduna is currently participating in the Validation Workshop for the Kaduna State Climate Change Policy Implementation Framework, taking place at the Tahir Palace Hotel, Kano, from 9th to 10th December 2025. The programme, supported by the Partnership for Agile Governance and Climate Engagement (PACE), brings together key stakeholders involved in shaping the State’s climate governance architecture.
The Honourable Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Buba, is in attendance, alongside the Permanent Secretary, senior management officials of the Ministry, and designated climate change desk officers from relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies. Their participation reiterates the State Government’s commitment to ensuring that the Climate Change Policy Implementation Framework (CC-PIF) is robust, all-inclusive, and aligned with global best practices in climate governance.
In his goodwill remarks, the Honourable Commissioner expressed profound appreciation for the collective efforts of all stakeholders involved in the development and ongoing validation of the framework. He acknowledged the invaluable technical and institutional support provided by PACE and commended the collaborative spirit demonstrated throughout the process. He further reiterated that such partnerships are essential to strengthening the State’s adaptive capacity and long-term climate resilience.
The workshop sessions focus on validating the goals, outcomes, and performance indicators of the CC-PIF, clarifying institutional roles and responsibilities, and identifying strategic gaps requiring refinement prior to final adoption. Participants are also engaging in sector-specific reviews to harmonise submissions, address inconsistencies, and ensure alignment between policy objectives, implementation activities, and expected outcomes.
Kaduna State continues to demonstrate leadership in climate action through evidence-based planning, multi-stakeholder engagement, and deliberate institutional strengthening. The ongoing validation exercise represents another significant step towards operationalising a comprehensive framework that will guide climate action implementation across the State from 2026 to 2028 and beyond.
