There are indications that climate change and its
consequences are already creating threats to the built environment in Nigeria. These
environmental threats have negative implications for healthy, well-being, and urban
sustainability. This empirical study aim to identify how climate change has influenced the
built environment in Nigeria’s South-Western region, considering the following objectives:
to explore the reasons for climate change in South-western, Nigeria, to determine the
consequences of environmental issues on inhabitant health in South-western, Nigeria; and
to critically determine the key measures of climate change mitigation and adaptation to
enhance the environmental sustainability of the Southwestern region of Nigeria.

Categorisation of Rural Development Stakeholders in Bui Division, North West ...PriyankaKilaniya
Rural development is a complex process involving multiple stakeholders with diverse interests and roles. The question of categorising these stakeholders which is missing in current literature is an urgent matter. This study aims to categorise the rural development stakeholders and examine their spatial geographical coverage in Bui Division of Cameroon. To do this, data was obtained from primary and secondary sources. Primary data were collected through field observations, personal interviews with RD institutions and administration of 360 questionnaire to the rural population of Kumbo, Oku and Noni Sub-Divisions within Bui Division. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and cartographic techniques with the help of figures, percentages, tables and a map. The findings revealed internal and external stakeholders in the rural development process, who are unevenly distributed within the division (40.9% in Kumbo, 30% in Oku and 29.1% in Noni). The study concludes that a critical foundation to formulate strategies for strengthening RD planning and implementation via stakeholder categorization in the area is in dire need. By providing a novel stakeholder categorisation approach, the study recommends that the internal and external stakeholder groups should each delineate their own set of priorities and requirements in streamlining sustainable future RD in the area. Also, the state should ensure balanced distribution of RD stakeholders by increasing their numbers in the less developed sub-divisions such as Noni and Oku in order to ensure that all sub-divisions equitably benefit from RD initiatives.

Climate Change Adaptation in the Arab StatesUNDP Climate
The purpose of this publication is to detail lessons learned from UNDP’s Climate Change Adaptation work and achievements in the Arab region on achieving sustainable and lasting results. Some lessons include building local capacity at all levels to ensure a project’s long-term viability, decentralizing infrastructure management, implicating community-based organizations, and promoting resilience of vulnerable populations through livelihood diversification. Providing populations with access to adapted financial services such as Weather Index Insurances (WII) linked with microfinance services was found to support rural populations to become more resilient to climate induced damages. The immediate objective of this publication is not only to share experiences with a wider audience, but also to inform future CCA programming. The publication furthermore acts as a call to action to facilitate a long-term coordinated approach to increasing the resilience of countries most vulnerable to climate change in the region.

Disaster preparedness of the selected Barangays in Rizal, Nueva EcijaIJAEMSJORNAL
Despite substantial public danger awareness commitment and spending, rates of preparedness for disasters remain low. The study used the descriptive method of research. It was found that the disaster preparedness programs and activities on the selected Barangays in Rizal, Nueva Ecija are effective however, it needs improvement on the implementation of the programs so that it will be more effective. The result on the problems about the implementation of disaster preparedness programs and activities is disgracing because those programs and activities have only one aim: to help the community. Local government may generate everyone awareness on the difficulties of implementing disaster preparedness activities and programs. Also, the barangay may conduct trainings or seminars for the barangay officials about disaster preparedness.

Environmental Accounting and Sustainable Development: A Study of Niger Delta ...inventionjournals
This work was borne out of the expectation of the gap that exists between the companies operating in Niger Delta and their host communities; years of neglect, environmental degradation, pollution and massive outcry for redress which resulted to arm struggle with attendant consequences. The objective of this study is to determine how environmental accounting has influenced the sustainable development in Nigeria, particularly Niger Delta area. Two (2) hypotheses were formulated and tested as an off shoot of the research questions. Environmental Accounting as Independent variable was measured by Sustainable development variables such as infrastructural amenities, poverty eradication, health care delivery, natural disaster and pollution. Quasi experimental research design was employed in the research. Data were gathered using questionnaires which were distributed to garner opinion from accountants, auditors, environmentalist, and community leaders in six states in Niger Delta area. Of 400 questionnaires distributed 388 were retrieved out of which 8 were invalid. Chi-square, Spearman’s coefficient correlation among others under SPSS Version 23 package was used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The result showed that there is relationship between Environmental accounting, Sustainable development and Economic Stability in Nigeria. We conclude that Environmental accounting is imperative for sustainable development and therefore suggests that all companies operating in Niger Delta area should imbibe environmental accounting as part of their operational standard.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

IMPACT NBS ISSUE IN
NIGERIA
4. Why prioritize Desertification?
Nature of the issues/challenge:
Desertification is an ongoing and continuous hazard
Extent of Desertification:
Impacts 15 northern states (Olagunju, 2015)
These states represent 35% of Nigeria's total landmass
(Punch Newspaper, 2020)
1,350 square miles of land is lost to the desert each year
(Caron, 2020)
Affected Population: Approximately 30 million Nigerians
(17% of the population) suffer the consequences of
desertification (Ibrahim, et al., 2022)
Urgency and Impact
Desertification encroaches southward at an alarming
rate of 0.6 km per year, engulfing around 351,000
hectares of cropland and rangeland annually
(Ibrahim, et al., 2022)
5. Cost
Desertification costs Nigeria an estimated $5.1
billion annually in lost agricultural productivity
(Oloukoi, Gbenga, & Langyit, 2018).
Agricultural and Livelihoods Loss: Over 40 million
people in desert-affected areas threatened by
desertification (Isaac, 2017).
Alignment with NDC
Combating desertification aligns with Nigeria's
NDC and its commitment to sustainable land
management.
Why prioritize Desertification?
6. How: Proposed Prioritization Strategies
Scale-up successful NBS
Identify existing successful NBS projects in Nigeria
Leverage with existing programs
Align desertification initiatives with existing programs
Building capacity and networks
Prioritize training and knowledge exchange programs for NGOs, communities
etc
Focus on equity and inclusivity
Ensure that NbS benefits reach marginalized communities.
Incentivizing sustainable land use
Implement financial incentives such as subsidies or carbon credits.
7. How: Actionable Steps
Step 1
• Clearly define the objectives and goals for addressing desertification in Nigeria.
• Conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to identify priority areas for intervention and
potential NBS solutions.
• Launch pilot projects for promising NBS technologies in collaboration with local partners.
• Develop and implement robust M&E systems for all NBS projects.
• Conduct training workshops and capacity building programs for communities.
• Initiate policy dialogue with the Nigerian government to identify key policy reforms.
Step 2:
• Scale up successful pilot projects based on M&E data and lessons learned.
• Advocate for policy reforms through workshops, conferences, and engagement with
decision-makers.
Step 3:
• Showcase the success of NBS interventions to attract further investment and support.
8. Conclusion
In summary, combating desertification aligns strategically with FCDO's
objectives by promoting sustainable development, building resilience, supporting
economic growth, fostering collaboration, and directly contributing to the
priorities outlined in Nigeria's NDC.
This alignment underscores the effectiveness and relevance of FCDO's
interventions in addressing critical environmental challenges.
