Climate change has impacted Nigeria negatively in the past few decades though not as drastically as in some other parts of the globe.

Climate change, no doubt, is a phenomenon affecting many nations, if not all, across the world today with some exploring innovative, climate-smart initiatives to address this largely ignored existential threat.

From low crop yield, food shortage, reduced livestock production, loss of income, public health crisis, decreased hydroelectric power supply to loss of homes and road networks, Nigeria has had its fair share of the turbulence of global warming. Weather constitutes the actual conditions that occur at any time and place. It is different from climate, which is a description of the conditions that tend to occur in particularExtreme weather points to specific turbulent events such as heatwaves, thunderstorms, tsunamis, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and floods which usually end in tragedies.

These scientists are going even deeper to seek answers to climate change questions by developing more computer models to not only analyse climate data with maths but find simpler ways to “quantify, or measure, the impacts of climate change’’. A PREMIUM TIMES editor on the Standards Desk, Tosin Omoniyi, was one of the two Nigerian journalists selected to join the fellowship with others picked from the U.S., Lebanon, Czech Republic, Poland, Argentina, China, the UK, Nepal, Denmark, Philippines, among other nations.

She said climate change manifests primarily “through the changing risks and intensity of extreme weather events and sea-level rise’’.
