Abstract Nigeria is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by halving its emissions by 2050. It has adopted nature-based solutions to implement its decarbonisation agenda. Nevertheless, as a highly urbanised country, the roles of Nigerian cities, where most emissions are concentrated, have not been clearly outlined. Besides, the one-size-fits-all strategy hardly works for all cities, given their
