Abstract:
The study on attracting green investments in Nigeria is taken on increasing importance by the new global trend for sustainable development and the country's raw material export concept. The main stages of the green economy sector are examined. In this sector, political decisions play a major role. The mechanism of state regulation and green investment support was also considered. The conclusion is made about the possibility of transition to green growth for commodity-exporting countries. In these countries, the state is the main driver of this transformation.

Keywords: sustainable development, green economy, Nigeria, green investment, public policy
