What the public record covers

On every question the documents say something, but never enough to confirm the answer. No published budget document that CAI could read line by line was found for this jurisdiction.

This shows what CAI found in public documents, not climate performance. A gap in the record is not a zero, and is not proof that nothing is happening.

Questions with evidence

  • Is a climate policy or strategy published?

    The external governance profile describes an Ondo climate-policy process under validation, but no qualifying officially issued/adopted primary policy/action plan was retrieved.

  • Is there a published law or order giving authority for climate action?

    The public sources reviewed did not include authenticated Ondo climate law/regulation/executive instrument meeting.

    Nothing found

  • Is an institution responsible for climate work named and working?

    The 2025 external profile names a Director/Climate Change Desk Officer and policy technical-committee role, but formal mandate, primary staff record and a dated 2025 output were not jointly verified.

Where the public record stops

  • The full-year record is publicly listed, but a usable source file was not retrieved from the public website searched.
  • A relevant public source was located or listed, but line-level executed energy-capital detail is not set out in the public sources reviewed.
  • The public record shows general fiscal/audit accountability visibility, but does not disclose a completed audit-control cycle specifically covering climate-relevant public expenditure with response and independent closure.

Recommendations

What CAI recommends publishing

These recommendations follow from where the public record stops. They are about what is published, not a judgement that Ondo failed to act.

  1. 01

    Publish the law behind climate action

    Release the signed law, gazette notice or executive order, showing its current status and the climate duties it places on government.

  2. 02

    Publish the climate plan and its status

    Release the climate plan or strategy with its formal status and date, who is responsible for delivering it, and any progress review.

  3. 03

    Publish the renewable energy spending record

    Release a downloadable record of money actually spent on renewable energy projects, showing the agency, the project and the amount.

  4. 04

    Publish the audit of climate spending

    Release which climate-related spending was audited, what the auditors found, how serious it was, and how government answered.

  5. 05

    Publish the results data

    Release results data showing where work happened, how many people it reached, how many were in priority groups, and how that compares with the stated targets.
