This study aimed to examine how the adoption of green growth can bring about sustainable development in Nigeria. A descriptive study design was adopted for this study. A literature search was performed from June 1st to July 20th, 2023. Articles, Journals and other publications on green growth and Sustainable development were selected using the PRISMA checklist. A total of 47 publications were selected including data from Trading Economics, Worldometer and Worldbank for Nigeria. From the results, CO2 emissions increased from 78,350,318 in 2014 to 82,634,214 in 2016. Transport sector accounted for most of the emission and emission data included gases from burning of fossil fuel and cement manufacture. Also, deforestation increased between 2015 and 2017. Shifting to green growth is necessary for Nigeria to reduce the damage done to the ecosystem and bring about sustainable development.
