Abstract:

Climatic fluctuation is putting Nigeria’s agriculture system under serious threat and stress. The study of the effect of climate change on agricultural productivity is critical given its impact in changing livelihood patterns in the country. Descriptive and co-integration analysis are the techniques used to analyze the Time series data used in this work. The finding demonstrates that the rate in agricultural productivity is persistently higher between 1981 and 1995, followed by a much lower growth rate in the 1996–2000 sub period. There was variation in the trend pattern of rainfall. Temperatu

Abstract:

The impacts of current global climate change vary, depending on the sector and the level of system’s resilience. This study analysed the impact and adaptation mechanisms to climate change among forest communities in Nigeria using a survey of 400 households from five ecological regions of Nigeria. Data were analysed using Ricardian, logit and cost benefit analysis models. Results show that the level of forest dependence varies from 14% in the Sudan savannah to over 47% in the mangrove. Over 88% of respondents have perceived climate change impact, with 84% of respondents noticing changes in fore

Abstract:

Developing countries have been rapidly urbanising over the last decades, resulting in major environmental pressures and increased vulnerability to natural disasters. A complex combination of factors, including climate change, land use change, poorly implemented regulation and a lack of integrated planning has often resulted in environmental degradation and disproportionate impacts of natural disasters affecting millions worldwide, particularly in tropical cities. The main aim of this study is to understand the effects of land-use and climate change on flooding in the Greater Port-Harcourt wate

Abstract:

The exponential growth of the world population led by the geographic expansion of urban areas in developing countries has put massive pressure on natural resources especially land and water. Water supply and water scarcity remain one of the major challenges facing the industrializing world. The United Nations forecast further increase in population which, in the absence of management and policies, will inevitably put more resources at risk. Changing climatic conditions causing more frequent and intense rainfall will also affect water management systems in the vulnerable urban areas of developi

A sustainable design guide has a huge potential to enhance the sustainability of the built environment. This thesis investigates the potentials of a sustainable residential design guide and develops a framework for its actualization in the three climatic regions in Nigeria. These regions are; Highland Climate Region (HCR), Tropical Savannah (TSC) and the Tropical Rainforest Climate Region (TRC). Given that Nigeria is the seventh most populous country in the world, and most populous in Africa, makes any statistical findings from Nigeria relevant to the rest of the world.

Abstract:

The majority of the impact of climate and human induced changes on forest are related to climate variability and deforestation. Similarly, changes in forest phenology due to climate variability and deforestation has been recognized as being among the most important early indicators of the impact of environmental change on forest ecosystem functioning. Comprehensive data on baseline forest cover changes including deforestation is required to provide background information needed for governments to make decision on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REED).

Recent droughts in the West African Sahel have been the most catastrophic since modern records began posing a threat to the economy and security of the region. Two contending views have evolved in the scientific community to explain the causes of re-occurring droughts in the West African Sahel Region. These themes are “the regional land-atmosphere feedback” mechanism and “ocean-atmosphere interaction”. This study is specific to a part of West Africa the North-eastern part of Nigeria and attempts to examine the impact of climate variability and land cover change on land surface conditions of fl

Abstract:

Agricultural communities in Nigeria have faced years of conflict between pastoralists and farmers. These conflicts have caused the lost of human life as well as affected resources such as crops and cattle negatively. Nigeria is also facing new challenges in the form of climate change that is affecting the pattern of these agricultural communities, possibly aggravating the current tensions between the actors. Pastoral conflicts have often been considered religious or ethnic conflicts however it is important to explore the possibility of other causes that can affect these conflicts such as clima

Abstract:

Food insecurity is a major problem in Nigeria. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that Nigeria’s food security situation has worsened in the past 15 years. This thesis examines the impacts of different factors that jeopardize the Nigerian food security situation. According to previous literature, there are mostly three factors that affect food security; climate change, economic development, and violent conflict. Nigeria is the chosen case study because all the above mentioned factors play a key role in the country; it is affected by climate change, the economy is fluctuating and t

Abstract:

Seven years ago, Wegenast and Basedau (2014) refurbished the greed and grievance theory made famous by Collier and Hoeffler, and championed an argument that ethnic fractionalization combined with an abundance of natural resources could especially spur internal conflict in a society. Their theory is the inspiration for this thesis which theorizes that climate change-induced decrease of, and subsequent competition for, natural resources and arable land will risk escalating to communal conflict, which is an underrepresented form of plausible conflict in climate change-triggered settings.

Abstract:

The state of marine fishery resources globally and particularly in Nigeria is a matter of considerable concern. Hitherto, international and Nigerian fisheries laws, as well as the opinions of legal scholars on how to address this problem, have focused predominantly on overfishing. Meanwhile, scientific literature reveals that increasing ocean temperatures caused by global warming have serious legal and management implications on the sustainable development of marine fishery resources. This thesis argues that sustainability of marine fishery resources is achievable only if states, including Nig

Abstract:

Climate change affects the natural and built environment, including all forms of development. The risks of climate change include severe alterations to the normal functioning of communities, including adverse effects on humans, infrastructure, land use, the built and natural environment. Due to these occurring and projected adverse effects, there is the need to develop resilience within communities, especially in areas of particular vulnerability. The point of departure of this research is that planning laws have a role to play in the adapting to, and building of resilience against, climate ch

Abstract:

This thesis examines the observed and anticipated impacts of climate change on energy security. Specifically, by incorporating emergent international legal obligations and regulations governing climate change, this thesis proposes a definitional and policy framework for energy security that can assist in making Nigeria’s energy supply more secure. This, in turn, can serve to improve Nigeria’s capacity to meet current and future climate change obligations. While the principal objective of this thesis is to explore how global climate change risk regulation provides opportunities for the state to

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Climate change is a major cause of the increasing deterioration of heritage places and the loss of values, meanings and histories of the past. The global average surface temperature, for instance, is projected to increase within the range of 1.4°C and 5.8°C by 2100. More than 60 heritage buildings in Nigeria were destroyed due to flooding, coastal storm and erosion between 1960 and 2010. This calls for urgent and inclusive actions to adapt the heritage buildings to the present and future climate scenarios, as well as implement people-driven ap
