The dramatic changes we face as a result of climate change; a case study of communities in Nigeria.
Lately, it's no longer a surprising news that most communities are really being turtured by the harsh realities of climate change. Ranging from increased heatwave, heavy downpour, inconsistent seasons to flooding and other devastating havocs.
All these challenges are directly or indirectly linked to human activities, including inappropriate waste management, deforestation, indiscriminate energy consumption and so on.
The issue of flooding has over the years claimed lives and property, placed our agricultural sector in an ugly state, hence giving a big blow to the economy and environmental conditions.
Recently there has been a wake up calls; individuals, organizations and government are joining hands in creating awareness about the calamities associated with climate change if not tackled or mitigated effectively. There's an increased improvement in providing infrastructures needed for mitigation and adaptation. The initiative of recycling and upcyclying is in a positive scale. Cleaner energies are being adopted.
With these, I believe there'll be a great paradigm shift in building a climate resilience environment.
