CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION IN NIGERIA: THE PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with far-reaching consequences for the entire planet. No nation is immune to its effects, and Nigeria, with its large population, diverse ecosystems, and significant economic reliance on climate-sensitive sectors, is particularly vulnerable. Rising temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, sea-level rise, and increased frequency of extreme weather events are already impacting communities across the country, threatening livelihoods, exacerbating existing inequalities, and hindering sustainable development.
