Nigeria, like most developing countries, has continued to witness the negative social, economic and political impacts of climate change. It is difficult to establish a link between climate change and violent conflicts. However, the persistent farmer-herder conflict in Nigeria is often seen as consequences of shortages of resources like land and waters caused by climate change (Alaanuloluwa Ikhuoso et al., 2020). Further, climate change is adversely affecting food security in Nigeria and with about 70 percent of Nigerian households engaging in agricultural activities, something urgent must be done to mitigate the impending crisis. Any attempts to mitigate further climate change crises will depend on collective contribution and collaboration of all countries of the world including Nigeria. In 2015, Nigeria was the second highest emitter of greenhouse gases after South Africa and the production of oil and gas in the country has been linked to steep environmental disasters and social inequalities (Elfredah, 2020). Meaning that both developed and developing countries must effectively contribute to the fight against climate change.
