Technological Approaches to the Threat of Climate Change for Greener Environment in Nigeria

Abstract:

Climate change is a phenomenon of great sensitivity which becomes a global issue that requires a concerted solution. This paper is interested in the resultant effects of average global temperature variation leading to greenhouse effects to the global environment particularly in Nigeria. Natural events and human activities are believed to be the major contributing factors that fuelled the increase in average global temperature, as a result, it leads to the greenhouse emission of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) due to the burning of fossil fuels. This emerged as a challenge to the eco-environment and sustainable development. Technological approaches were drawn from the academic literature to enlighten the polluters to immediately begin to reduce greenhouse gas emission, if the rise in global temperature is to be held in check to avoid drastic consequences later.
