Download or read book Climate Change Impacts on Nigeria written by Johnbosco C. Egbueri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-19 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impacts of climate change on Nigeria. How climate change impacts the productivity and future development of different sectors in Nigeria was covered in this book. Various themes of the Nigerian economy, environment, and climate change were considered. Worthy of note are the impacts of climate change on the Nigerian air quality, surface and groundwater resources, watershed and natural resources’ development and planning, soil- quality, fertility, salinization, nutrients and cropping patterns. Also, the impact of climate change on land use/land cover, urbanization and strategic planning, crops and sustainable crop yield; land degradation, soil erosion, landslides and landscapes, rainfall trend patterns, drought vulnerability; ecology, vegetation/forest, carbon and biomass management of Nigeria were investigated. Finally, the problems of climate change in semi-arid and arid regions (with special emphasis on Nigeria) and possible solutions for sustainable development under the changing climate were discussed in this book. Advanced technologies, such as remote sensing, GIS, multivariate analytical tools, and machine learning techniques, were utilized in the exploration and analysis of the themes of this book. Thus, this book is a very important product for point of view researchers, scientists, NGOs, and university communities on the Nigerian climate change. This book is a useful interdisciplinary tool, cutting across various disciplines such as earth sciences, hydrology, environmental sciences, soil science, engineering, remote sensing, natural resources management, and public health management, etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is essential to put rural communities in Niger Delta at the centre of actions on climate change and disaster risk reduction by empowering their inhabitants to adopt and adapt climate change strategies in innovative ways based on current and future evidence, so as to give them not only the ownership but also the confidence to take leadership of the process (CPED, 2005 and 2014). [...] Decision making and the limited role of women Farming households and their decision-making process are central to the development challenge of alleviating rural poverty as well as responding to the challenges of climate change. [...] For these reasons, decision makers and development partners at all levels need to integrate gender perspectives into the planning, financing, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of climate responses The survey carried out in Niger Delta (CPED, 2014) attempted to gauge the opinions of respondents with respect to their support for women to play key roles in climate change adaptation strate. [...] Awareness of the causes and consequences of climate change in order to sensitize rural women on the dangers of climate change and to the possible requirements/mechanisms of adaptation 2. [...] - to be able to use one's own labour in the formal and informal labour markets, to have access to loans and funds and, in the context of climate, access to international climate finance mechanisms (e.g., climate funds).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirdly, an examination of the available literature indicates that in the context of the Niger Delta region and indeed other parts of Nigeria, the understanding of vulnerability to climate change and the strategies and pathways for adaptation are currently enveloped in high uncertainties because of inadequate scientific data in many respects. [...] Purpose of the study The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of climate change on the economic vulnerability of International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education (IJHSSE) Page | 2 Climate Change and the Economic Vulnerability of Household in Niger Delta Region households in Niger Delta region. [...] Table 14 shows the assessment of the respondents of the impact of lack of security on household vulnerability and it indicates that the vast majority of them believe that households in the three ecological zones are vulnerable to climate change because of the absence of adequate security. [...] The International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education (IJHSSE) Page | 7 Climate Change and the Economic Vulnerability of Household in Niger Delta Region vast majority of respondents in the three ecological zones indicated that water pollution has impact on the vulnerability of the households to climate change. [...] Table 19 shows that the vast proportion of the respondents in the three ecological zones confirm that the loss of biodiversity in the region contributes to the vulnerability of the households in various communities to the impact of climate change.

Download or read book Satellite-Based Mitigation and Adaptation Scenarios for Sea Level Rise in the Lower Niger Delta written by Zahrah Naankwat Musa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Niger delta with its gentle slope and low elevation is extremely sensitive to effects of climate change. Its adaptive capacity is the second lowest in terms of socio-economic development in Nigeria. Quantitative studies on developing measures for coastal planning and management in the lower Niger delta have been limited by data availability and inaccessibility of parts of the delta. The use of satellite data can help bridge the data gap by providing ancillary data (imagery, elevation, altimetry etc.) that can be used to quantify the effects of SLR in the Niger delta. This thesis uses satellite data as the main source for hydrodynamic modelling and GIS analysis. Until recently such data might not have the accuracy and precision of directly measured data. However recent innovative approaches have enabled better exploitation of satellite data to overcome these limitations and produce adequate results to assess the impact of SLR on the Niger delta in an integrated way that will lead to practical recommendations for adaptation. Using projected global eustatic SLR values in combination with land subsidence, this thesis estimated SLR levels for the Niger delta and its effect on inundation areas and flood extent. The results indicate that the Niger delta is very vulnerable to inundation and that even minimal SLR will affect flooding in the lower Niger delta since the area continues to subside. A new coastal vulnerability index was developed in this thesis by evaluating physical, social and human influence indicators of exposure, susceptibility and resilience. The results show that parts of the Niger delta are highly vulnerable to SLR and need adequate mitigation/adaptation measures to protect them. It is recommended that sustainable local resilience practices already being used in parts of the Niger delta should be included in adaptation planning.

This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 2.5, , course: Peace and Conflict Resolution in Africa, language: English, abstract: This research examines the impact of climate change on societal conflict in Nigeria and Niger Republic. The objectives are to determine the impact of climate change on social conflict in Nigeria and Niger Republic; identify the progenitors and victims of climate change in Nigeria and Niger Republic; examine citizens’ perceptions on nationalist identities; and proffer solutions through mitigation and adaption strategies for mutual interdependence. Two key areas of conflict necessitated this research. First, subnational agitations for environmental protection arising from environmental degradation, pollution, gas flaring, biodiversity depletion and destruction of the aquatic habitat which tends to undermine national unity. Second, farmers/herders clashes occasioned by deforestation and desertification of the Sahel region and the Lake Chad basin which undermine national security, peace and sustainable development in both countries. The anger of nature (astronomical) against humans (anthropogenic) on its endowments, and the reactive consequences of nature on how human beings and their agents have abused and destroyed the material/mineral resources freely provided by nature for man’s economic and social sustainability when not addressed drastically would negatively impact on subnational and interstate disharmony. The social conflict analytical approach, the Social Conflict Theory and the Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory are used to theoretically justify potentials of these social conflicts in redirecting the narratives of national unity and ethnic identity in both countries. This study uses descriptive research design and content analysis. The data employed for the study will be gathered from secondary sources. This work observed the devastating nature of social conflicts arising from climate change, especially in the Middle Belt in Nigeria, by headers/farmers crisis. It attributed it to lack of understanding, intolerance, accommodation and burden sharing. It enjoined citizens to stop religious and politicization of the crisis and give peace a chance for unity, solidarity and mutual co-existence in both countries.

Book excerpt: Team members are working on the various aspects of the collected data which hopefully will in the first instance guide the implementation of the pilot program during the remaining period of the implementation of the project. [...] In effect, most communities in the three ecological zones in Delta State are extremely vulnerable to climate change in terms of access to water because whenever rains fail to come at the right time and the quality of water in the rivers within the state declines, the people become susceptible to diseases due to the poor quality of water which they drink. [...] Vulnerability of Households to Climate Change The key findings from the surveys with regard to the vulnerability of households to climate change are as follows: The results of the survey show that some geographical and physical factors contribute to the vulnerability of households in the three ecological zones in the Niger Delta region. [...] The project is expected lead to the reduction in the vulnerability and enhancement of the resilience and adaptive capacity of rural communities to the adverse impacts of climate change in the Niger 15 Delta. [...] It was established in recognition of "importance attached to the issue of climate change and global warming, and in view of the enormity of activities required for the implementation of the Climate Change Convention and the Kyoto Protocol" (FMENV 2010).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If not addressed in time, climate change is expected to exacerbate Nigeria’s current vulnerability to weather swings and limit its ability to achieve and sustain the objectives of Vision 20:2020 [as defined in http://www.npc.gov.ng /home/doc.aspx?mCatID=68253]. The likely impacts include: • A long-term reduction in crop yields of 20–30 percent • Declining productivity of livestock, with adverse consequences on livelihoods • Increase in food imports (up to 40 percent for rice long term) • Worsening prospects for food security, particularly in the north and the southwest • A long-term decline in GDP of up to 4.5 percent The impacts may be worse if the economy diversifies away from agriculture more slowly than Vision 20:2020 anticipates, or if there is too little irrigation to counter the effects of rising temperatures on rain-fed yields. Equally important, investment decisions made on the basis of historical climate may be wrong: projects ignoring climate change might be either under- or over-designed, with losses (in terms of excess capital costs or foregone revenues) of 20–40 percent of initial capital in the case of irrigation or hydropower. Fortunately, there is a range of technological and management options that make sense, both to better handle current climate variability and to build resilience against a harsher climate: • By 2020 sustainable land management practices applied to 1 million hectares can offset most of the expected shorter-term yield decline; gradual extension of these practices to 50 percent of cropland, possibly combined with extra irrigation, can also counter-balance longer-term climate change impacts. • Climate-smart planning and design of irrigation and hydropower can more than halve the risks and related costs of making the wrong investment decision. The Federal Government could consider 10 short-term priority responses to build resilience to both current climate variability and future change through actions to improve climate governance across sectors, research and extension in agriculture, hydro-meteorological systems; integration of climate factors into the design of irrigation and hydropower projects, and mainstreaming climate concerns into priority programs, such as the Agriculture Transformation Agenda.
