The theme of the 2023 edition of the Future Cities Summit is “Towards a Net Zero and Decarbonised Nigeria". The Summit will provide a forum to discuss the current state of the Nigerian built environment and explore potential strategies and policies to increase the country’s stock of green buildings as well as make our cities more sustainable.

The Summit will do this through the lens of the World GBC’s Africa Manifesto for Sustainable Cities and the Built Environment, a roadmap of policy priorities and programs intended to guide Africa’s transition to greater urban sustainability. The Summit will also serve as a forum to acknowledge progress and showcase achievements in the areas of green building and urban sustainability in Nigeria.
