The Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Climate Change and Circular Economy (OCCE), Lagos State, will convene industry leaders, sustainability professionals, and private sector stakeholders at EcoNexus 3.0, a high-level engagement focused on unlocking the financial value of climate and circular economy actions within industry.
The event, themed “Beyond Compliance: Monetising Climate and Circular Actions for Industries,” will take place on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, on Victoria Island, Lagos.
EcoNexus 3.0 builds on the successes of previous editions of the platform, which have brought together industry actors and sustainability leaders to explore practical approaches to climate accountability and circular economy opportunities within the private sector.
According to Titilayo Oshodi, Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos on Climate Change and Circular Economy, this year’s edition introduces a new dimension to the conversation by spotlighting an area that many organisations have historically overlooked. The ability to translate sustainability and climate actions into measurable economic and financial value is the next frontier that will scale action and responsibilities.
While many companies are already implementing initiatives such as energy efficiency improvements, waste reduction, recycling systems, and responsible sourcing practices, the financial implications and opportunities embedded within these actions often remain untapped.
“Through EcoNexus 3.0, we are introducing a new approach to help industries move beyond regulatory compliance and begin to recognise, structure, and monetise the sustainability and circular economy initiatives they are already implementing.
“During the session, we will also be showcasing innovative tools and solutions that can enable organisations to measure, manage, and optimise their climate and circularity performance. We will be introducing DecarbonIQ, a platform that supports organisations in understanding and managing their carbon emissions and circularity footprint as part of OCCE’s broader effort to equip industry with practical sustainability solutions,” Oshodi explained.
EcoNexus 3.0 programme will also include a dedicated session exploring business and economic opportunities for women within the sustainability and circular economy sectors, aligning with the broader global conversations around International Women’s Day and recognising the growing role of women professionals in shaping sustainability and ESG leadership across industries.
EcoNexus represents an important step in strengthening collaboration between government and industry as Lagos continues to position itself as a leader in climate action and circular economy innovation in Africa.
The event is expected to bring together senior private sector leaders, sustainability practitioners, and policy stakeholders to explore practical pathways for integrating profitability with climate responsibility.
According to the organisers, participation in the event is strictly by invitation.
