Building a Resilient Climate Regulatory Ecosystem for NigeriaBy IBEABUCHI Uwadiegwu
Abstract: Terrestrial ecosystems, which store more carbon than the atmosphere, are vital to influencing carbon dioxide-driven climate change. Climate and land-use change are critical and interlinked components of the Carbon budget in human-dominated landscape, using the InVEST model maps of land use and stocks in four Carbon pools (aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, soil, dead organic matter) are used to estimate the amount of Carbon currently stored in the landscape and the …

Mapping the Vulnerabilities of Coastline Cities and Communities in Africa to Adapt to Climate Change: A Study of Lagos-NigeriaBy IBEABUCHI Uwadiegwu, Nwilo Peter Chigozie
Abstract: The Lagos coastline is active in nature and is located about less than six feet above sea level and houses about half of 15 million people in Lagos state, and is vulnerable to changes in coastline due to flooding and erosion. Climate change has aggravated this; sea-level rise will increase the risk of storm surge flooding, and coastal erosion threatening coastal cities. The annual rainfall along the coastline of Lagos …
