World Ozone Day!

Today reminds us of something rare: the world came together, fixed a hole in the sky, and it’s actually working.
The ozone layer is on track to fully recover by 2066. Proof that global action isn’t just possible, it’s proven.

Nigeria’s Ozone Journey 🇳🇬 | Ahead of World Ozone Day

Under the Montreal Protocol, Nigeria has achieved a 67.5% reduction in HCFC consumption as of 2025, with a full phase-out targeted for 2030.

From local hydrocarbon refrigerant production to more climate-friendly air-conditioning solutions, the transition towards sustainable cooling is happening - technician by technician, facility by facility.

The work is not just about refrigerants and chemicals; it is about protecting the ozone layer, reducing climate impacts, and creating a healthier environment for all.

As we approach World Ozone Day, let’s recognise the progress and strengthen our commitment to protecting the ozone layer and advancing sustainable cooling in Nigeria.

Ahead of World Ozone Day | Protecting What Protects Us

The ozone layer is our planet’s natural shield, protecting life from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

In this powerful message, UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen reminds us that while the ozone layer is showing signs of recovery, our work is not over. Protecting the ozone layer also contributes to a healthier, cooler and more resilient planet.

As we mark World Ozone Day, let’s continue to support global action for ozone protection and climate sustainability.

Protect the ozone. Protect our planet. Protect our future.

SRADeV Nigeria participated in the National Technical Committee Meeting on Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for Electric Fans, Televisions, and Storage Water Heaters in Nigeria, held on 18 August 2026 at Legend Hotel.

Organised by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and supported by the Nigeria Energy Support Programme III (NESP III), the meeting brought together government representatives, technical experts, manufacturers, and other industry stakeholders to review comments on the draft MEPS, discuss compliance frameworks, and work towards their adoption.

The engagement reinforces the importance of energy-efficient, quality appliances in reducing energy consumption and supporting efforts to address Nigeria’s growing e-waste challenge. SRADeV Nigeria remains committed to supporting policies and standards that promote resource efficiency, environmental sustainability, and a more circular economy.

On Thursday, 20 August 2026, the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), in collaboration with the Office of the Special Assistant to the President on Climate Change Matters (OSAP-CCM) and SRADeV Nigeria, convened a Stakeholder Engagement Workshop under the Multi-Solving Action for Methane Reduction in Nigeria (MAMRN) Project in Abuja.

The workshop brought together key stakeholders from Ministries, Departments and Agencies, sub-national actors including the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), as well as the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, waste picker associations, and private sector actors.

Discussions focused on strengthening Nigeria’s response to methane emissions from the waste sector through policy and regulatory review, development of a National Zero Waste Training and Advocacy Toolkit, and collaborative efforts towards a National Action Plan for Methane Reduction.

The engagement reaffirmed a shared commitment to reducing methane emissions in Nigeria, particularly from the waste sector, and highlighted the need to translate collaboration into practical action towards a cleaner, healthier, and climate-resilient Nigeria.
