Nigeria is an economic giant which unfortunately many threats hover. Climate change and pollution have added to all the socio-economic challenges the country already faces. The negligence of the constituted authorities and the misinformation of the citizens on the dangers of climate change have forged our commitment to the climate cause. Because at AdvoKC, we are aware of the difficulties that await Nigeria and Africa if the authorities and citizens continue to ignore climate change and its harmful effects.
Nigeria, a country known for its cultural diversity, natural wealth, and socio-economic challenges, is facing a serious and growing threat: climate change. Among the most immediate and noticeable manifestations of this global phenomenon are the intense and prolonged heat waves that plague the region.

As Africa struggles to finance its climate goals, African countries’ cooling temperatures are increasing more than anywhere else in the world in 2023. Thus, Africa must seek immediate solutions to help the continent respond better as more people die from heat waves.

The climate emergency is an issue that over the years has increasingly attracted global attention, and for good reason. It is not a myth, but a reality that is emerging incontrovertibly across a wide range of scientific evidence.

The climate crisis is a global emergency that threatens the well-being of people, ecosystems, and the planet. It is caused by the increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause the Earth's temperature to rise.

Africa is the world’s least developed continent and has the greatest need to industrialize in order to lift its population out of poverty. This challenge is all the more important because of the damage caused by industry to the environment.

Climate change refers to long-term changes in the Earth's climate, including temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns. These changes are primarily caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.

The spread of extreme climatic conditions is now a global plague. In Nigeria, the impact of climate change varies in different ecological regions of the country through the intensity of extreme temperatures, sea-level rise, drought, flooding, and food insecurity. Also, many villages, towns, and cities in Africa's most populous nation have recorded human casualties and displacements with many people living in makeshift camps due to rising conflicts.

The earth has been experiencing extremely high temperatures in the last few years. This is particularly true of Northern countries; nations that are otherwise not used to this type of climate.

In a grandstand against the climate emergency, the Federal Government of Nigeria established a list of short and medium-term achievements reach to significantly reduce the consequences of global warming.

Since the increase in industrialization all over the planet, the climate has become a very serious subject. In Africa and Nigeria, oil exploitation has caused irreparable environmental damage. This has not improved with population growth. And more than having to worry about the climate, we must take into account the global degradation of the environment. In Lagos, user plastics are ubiquitous; in streets, ditches, parks, and even the ocean.

It is no longer a secret that planet Earth is getting warmer, forests are shrinking and the desert is advancing. Everyone is now aware of these facts, or at least one of them. Climate inaction can therefore be summed up as ignoring these facts, and/or not acting on them.

Trees can play a significant role in addressing the climate crisis. Trees reduce temperatures, improve air quality, and act as natural flood barriers in urban areas. On average, a single tree captures 0.62 tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime.

The Indian specter now hangs in the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers state. The region's mining and oil factories spray the city with black carbon smoke that falls directly onto populated areas, forcing residents to breathe air filled with microparticles that are toxic to the body.

The management and sharing of natural resources (mineral raw materials, energy, water, and land) are always at the centre of several geopolitical and social conflicts. The abundance or depletion of these resources can contribute to any kind of conflict anywhere in the world.

The climate issue has become an absolute emergency for the great nations of the world. The planet has been warming for decades and not enough attention is paid to its condition.

On climate talks, the African voice is hardly listened to. The only decision-makers are the powerful countries, the main emitters of carbon dioxide. This may be found to be reasonable, in the sense that it is up to those responsible for making the necessary arrangements to protect the environment.
