Sustainable Biomass Energy Management in Nigeria

In order to address energy security as part of a broader climate change management strategy, bioenergy can play an important role in climate change mitigation. This review is based on the need for sustainable forest operational linkages and critically assesses the relevant literature on sustainable biomass management in Nigeria, to generate knowledge, capabilities and opportunities for a more sustainable energy future. A better understanding of the role of biodiversity in sustainable development in relation to the maintenance of healthy agroecosytems, is emphasized. This paper provides a common understanding on fuelwood management strategies for healthy agroecosystems in general. Overall, contributions of synergies to sustainable biomass management highlight the importance of integrated planning and implementation of targeted interventions. Securing indigenous and community forestlands tenure is a governance solution that can help achieve climate mitigation goals. A key issue is to integrate stakeholder involvement in the biomass energy value chain including alternative energy sources. Policy and scientific coherence within and across clean energy production in Nigeria is germane to climate change management that delivers on both the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement
