On harmonising Nigerian and global concerns on climate, the White Paper proposes a 3-pronged strategy:

1. sustainably increasing material consumption in a manner that creates the necessary local economic conditions to attract investment to achieve carbon neutrality;
2. substituting waste removal mechanisms from material consumption to those that meet sustainability conditions; and
3. shifting consumption from geographies/economies with very high CO2 per capita/GDP per capita into geographies with levels too low to attain carbon neutrality, like Nigeria.
