Climate Change Network Nigeria (CCN)

Climate Change Network Nigeria (CCN), now branded as the Climate-Connect Initiative, is a national, non-profit coalition of more than 150 civil society organizations working across Nigeria on climate change. According to its official website, the network was formerly known as Climate Change Network Nigeria (CCN-Nigeria) and rebranded to Climate-Connect Initiative while retaining its coalition structure and mission. It describes itself as committed to building a climate-friendly, sustainable Nigeria through multi-sectoral partnerships and collective action. The organization works across three core areas: Education & Outreach, Policy & Advocacy, and Research & Innovation. In education and outreach it organizes events, distributes plain-language resources, and works directly with communities to build awareness about climate change. In policy and advocacy it engages policymakers, advocates for stronger climate legislation, and pushes for a just transition to renewable energy, including best practices for adaptation. In research and innovation it conducts research on climate mitigation and adaptation, funds innovative technologies, and supports start-ups building renewable energy solutions. Climate-Connect is a member of Climate Action Network (CAN) International and its West African arm, CANWA. Its stated vision is a nature-friendly, post-carbon society that cares for people and the planet, and its mission is to mobilize, educate, and empower stakeholders to drive effective climate solutions and sustainable development. Its core values include sustainability and collaboration. The network lists partners and affiliates including Climate Action Network (CAN) International, Climate Action Network West Africa (CANWA), the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), YOUNGO – Children and Youth Constituency, Earth Day, Climate Education Coalition, 350.org, Global Waste Cleaning Network (GWCN), Pan Africa Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), Youth Climate Council, and Solidaridad West Africa. It operates as a non-profit coalition rather than a commercial enterprise, and its website serves as the primary public face of the brand.
