The theme for the workshop is “Towards an appropriate and effective Institutional Framework and capacity building for combating climate change”. This summit will be the third in the series of the highly successful and widely applauded Lagos State Climate Change Summit. The Summit has been able to make its mark not only nationally but globally. More importantly it had served to showcase the laudable and multi-various efforts and records of Lagos State as the standard bearer in Nigeria on climate change specifically and environment in general. 

An appropriate institutional framework and capacity building is very important for effectively dealing with climate change. There are varieties of institutional structures and frameworks designed  to cope with climate change with different degrees of effectiveness. This summit presents a forum for sharing experiences on  theory, practice and results of various efforts.
