Climate Action Index

Making subnational climate implementation visible. The Index asks the same ten questions of every Nigerian jurisdiction — who is responsible, how money moved, what was delivered and what was measured — and answers them only from public documents.

Nigeria application

What the public record shows across all 36 states + FCT.

This is the same Nigeria application published on climateactionindex.org, shown here so the map and the record always match the source.

Climate Action Index map of Nigeria showing how much of the public record was found in each of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, shaded from nothing found to fully documented.

How much of the public record was found

  • Nothing found
  • Faint signal
  • Visible, incomplete
  • Fully documented

Colour shows how much of the public record was found — not how well a government is performing. Where a document could not be found, that is reported as a gap in the public record, never as evidence that nothing is being done.

The ten questions asked of every jurisdiction

  • Climate policy
  • Legal authority
  • Institution
  • Budget & resources
  • Execution
  • Delivery
  • Outcomes
  • Measurement
  • Audit trail
  • Reporting

What was found

System snapshot.

Implementation is traceable at the top of the chain and thins out further down it. Most jurisdictions name a responsible institution; far fewer publish the policy, the legal authority, the spending purpose or the measured result behind it.

Publish a climate policy

A climate policy or strategy document is publicly available

Publish legal authority

A law or legal order giving authority for climate action is published

Of 1,122 fiscal lines tested, 299 clearly state a climate purpose. Of 148 outcome checks, none yet meet the full public-evidence threshold — the point where implementation becomes hardest to trace in public documents.

Method

climateactionindex.org is the source of record.

Every applicable commitment is followed through eight stages — responsibility, authority, institution, budget, execution, delivery, outcomes and measurement — and each answer records what document it came from. Observability, capability, implementation, outcomes and accountability are kept distinct, so a missing document is reported as a gap in the public record rather than a judgement about performance.

Why it matters

You cannot strengthen what you cannot see.

Climate risk lands first on states, schools and communities. Making readiness visible turns climate action into something people can track, debate and improve — and turns evidence gaps into a map of where support is most needed.

Engage

For governments and public institutions.

Institutions can work with CCAIE on readiness implementation support once findings are published.

Assessment independence. Index assessment is independent of any partnership, donation or fee. A jurisdiction cannot purchase, sponsor or influence its own assessment, and implementation support is contracted separately from the research function that produces the scores.
