Good evening everyone, this is Saint Paul 001. How was your day? I hope it went well. Mine was productive and great. I woke up at 6:00 AM today. After brushing my teeth and saying my prayers, I went outside to get some fresh air. I came back in and had breakfast around 8:00 AM. I had biscuits and yoghurt this morning. I didn’t have much of an appetite, but I made sure to eat something.

After breakfast, I rested a bit and woke up again around 10:00 AM. While reflecting, the topic of climate change came to mind. It’s something I’ve been meaning to research, specifically as it relates to Nigeria. So I opened my laptop and started my research. What became clear is that Nigeria is really facing serious problems with climate change. In summary, here’s what I learned from my research:

Climate change in Nigeria has led to rising temperatures and increased rainfall variability with more rainfall in coastal areas and less in inland areas. This has resulted in drought, desertification, rising sea levels, erosion, floods, thunderstorms, bush fires, landslides, land degradation, and more frequent extreme weather events. Climate change is also driving biodiversity loss, reduced food and water security, rising poverty, conflict, displacement, economic instability, and negative health outcomes across Nigeria. Nigeria is highly vulnerable to climate change and is not well prepared to manage its impacts. The agricultural sector is particularly at risk. Nigeria ranks among the top 25 highest greenhouse gas emitters globally, contributing 0.8% of total emissions. The country has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% unconditionally, and by 47% with international support, by 2030. Nigeria has also pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. Nigeria’s climate change mitigation and adaptation plans cover key sectors: *Agriculture and food security including climate-smart agriculture *Forests and biodiversity *Water resources *Energy and infrastructure including transition to renewable energy such as solar *Health *Human settlements *Industry and commerce *Transportation and communication While there is discussion around building capacity at the individual, community, and group levels to respond to climate change, less attention is given to strengthening capacity at the state and national levels. The challenges of climate change are not the same across all geographical areas of the country. This is due to Nigeria’s two main precipitation regimes: high rainfall in parts of the Southeast and Southwest, and low rainfall in the Northern region. These differences lead to distinct impacts: - Northern Nigeria: aridity, desertification, and drought - Southern Nigeria: erosion and flooding Other regions also experience variations based on these rainfall patterns. /p>
