Although no region of the world will be entirely spared, the negative impacts are likely to fall most heavily on poor nations in the tropical region. While data on the global impacts of climate change is available, those at regional levels are scanty and scattered. This prompted this study that took a general overview of climate change impacts in Nigeria. Mean annual and monthly temperature and rainfall data were collected from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency and some States’ airports for...

Concentrations of d Pb r o Se and i ions in Qua Iboe river system were assessed by analysing water samples collected from the river at Iwuochang Mkpanak Ukpenekang Atabong Eketai and Marina stations. The reslts obtained indicate that the overall mean concentrations for Cd Pb,Cr,Co,Cu,Se and Ni ions in the samples were 44.22 ± 44.71, 24.75 ±21.15,39.78 ± 34.24. 48.64 ± 42.19, 64 ± 62.33, 1.15 ±0.40, 55.39 ±68.07μg/L respectively. These concentrations ere higher than ESEAs limits for surface...

The economies of Africa, however, are predominantly dependent on rainfed agriculture and the associated industries. Current and future sustainable socio-economic development of the African nations will therefore heavily depend on the ability to cope with the current climate variability as well as adaptation to future climate changes. Some lessons and experiences that have been gained from many years of operations at the IGAD(Intergovernmental Authority on Development) Climate Prediction and...
