Natural Climate Solutions in a Developing Economy: the Case of the Nigerian Niger Delta | Asian Jour

The response to climate change is determined by technological advances, socioeconomic factors, and geographic location. Interventions in this regard, particularly in developing countries, may differ from those in developed countries. This is particularly true in developing countries, where climate change initiatives would necessitate economic empowerment in order to reduce poverty, promote food production, and improve nutrition. In developing countries, the human threat to climate change adaptation and mitigation is not intentional, but rather a matter of everyday livelihood and survival.Survival considerations would be weighed in order to resolve climate change problems on a long-term basis. Natural climate solutions are a top priority in low-tech environments like Nigeria. Natural climate solutions have a wide range of applications that are dependent on local well-being and environmental conditions. Crude oil prospection and exploitation, as well as climate change, have wreaked havoc on Nigeria's Niger Delta. It is agrarian, with Rain and Mangrove Forests as the predominant vegetation. Climate change has degraded the majority of the Rain Forest, resulting in irreversible grassland known as derived savannah, which has significant socio-economic implications.Climate change and the crude oil industry have wreaked havoc on the mangrove forest, but there is hope for regeneration. The natives are powerless in both situations, and survival instinct contributes to more deterioration. Poverty will be alleviated and healthy forests will be assured by introducing effective natural climate solutions. The aim of this paper was to present agro-based local intervention initiatives that would improve the natives' quality of life while also ensuring a healthy climate.
