This book explores the impacts of climate change on Nigeria. How climate change impacts the productivity and future development of different sectors in Nigeria was covered in this book. Various themes of the Nigerian economy, environment, and climate change were considered. Worthy of note are the impacts of climate change on the Nigerian air quality, surface and groundwater resources, watershed and natural resources’ development and planning, soil- quality, fertility, salinization, nutrients and cropping patterns. Also, the impact of climate change on land use/land cover, urbanization and strategic planning, crops and sustainable crop yield; land degradation, soil erosion, landslides and landscapes, rainfall trend patterns, drought vulnerability; ecology, vegetation/forest, carbon and biomass management of Nigeria were investigated. Finally, the problems of climate change in semi-arid and arid regions (with special emphasis on Nigeria) and possible solutions for sustainable developmentunder the changing climate were discussed in this book. Advanced technologies, such as remote sensing, GIS, multivariate analytical tools, and machine learning techniques, were utilized in the exploration and analysis of the themes of this book. Thus, this book is a very important product for point of view researchers, scientists, NGOs, and university communities on the Nigerian climate change. This book is a useful interdisciplinary tool, cutting across various disciplines such as earth sciences, hydrology, environmental sciences, soil science, engineering, remote sensing, natural resources management, and public health management, etc.

This innovative book tackles the pressing global environmental issue of microplastic pollution, with a particular focus on the diverse and ecologically significant regions of Africa and Asia. Through comprehensive analysis, it unveils the alarming extent of microplastic contamination in these regions, highlighting the urgent need for attention and action. The book provides a thorough introduction to microplastics, exploring their composition, formation process, and mechanisms of infiltration into terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It explains their transport mechanisms, their presence in air, water, soil, sediments, wetlands, and their far-reaching ecological impacts on food security and human health. It investigates their direct and indirect effects on public health, including inhalation, ingestion, toxicological implications, and overall consequences. The book also examines the interactions between human activities, socioeconomic factors, and microplastic proliferation across different environmental compartments. Drawing insights from case studies across coastal cities and remote rural areas, the book illustrates the scope and magnitude of this problem in Africa and Asia. Furthermore, it provides an overview of analytical techniques and methodologies employed in microplastic research, such as GIS, remote sensing, spectroscopy, and computational modelling. It meticulously analyzes current mitigation techniques, best practices, policy frameworks, and the role of public awareness in addressing this issue. The book offers insights into future research directions, mitigation strategies, and broader ecological and human health aspects of microplastic pollution. Designed as a graduate-level resource, this interdisciplinary book is invaluable for researchers across disciplines, policymakers working in these regions, and anyone concerned about the pervasive issue of microplastic pollution and its far-reaching consequences across several other regions of the world.

This book volume presents a comprehensive exploration of the complex challenges and opportunities associated with the global shift towards renewable energy, with a focused emphasis on developing nations. Through twenty-one rigorously peer-reviewed chapters contributed by various scholars and practitioners, this edited volume adopts a multidisciplinary approach, weaving together insights from geoscience, environmental science, economics, engineering, social sciences, and governance to offer a holistic view of energy transition in the developing world. It examines cutting-edge developments in energy transition discourse, including the transformative role of artificial intelligence in advancing renewable energy systems across Africa and other developing regions, whilst contributors explore innovative waste-to-energy technologies as solutions to the dual challenges of waste management and energy generation, particularly relevant for Sub-Saharan Africa facing rapidly increasing waste generation rates. Beyond technological considerations, the volume investigates the critical nexus between energy transition and agricultural sustainability, exploring climate-smart agriculture, agrogeological approaches to bioenergy production, and pathways for achieving food and energy security simultaneously in resource-constrained environments. Central to these crucial discussions, governance, institutional quality, and policy frameworks are identified as critical determinants of energy transition success, with contributors examining renewable energy governance challenges and revealing how bureaucratic ineffectiveness, policy inconsistencies, and regulatory uncertainty hinder mainstream adoption of renewable energy technologies despite abundant natural resources. Further, complementing these governance analyses, economic dimensions received substantial attention through chapters investigating the impact of energy transition on quality-of-life improvements, entrepreneurship development, industrial sector performance, and the financing innovations necessary to bridge investment gaps facing developing economies. In addition, environmental sustainability and climate resilience constitute central themes, with chapters exploring climate-induced vulnerabilities of energy systems, biodiversity implications of energy transitions, and best practices for balancing ecological preservation with energy development in environmentally sensitive regions, whilst also addressing sustainable mining practices for critical minerals essential to clean energy technologies. Targeted at academics, researchers, policymakers, development practitioners, industry professionals, and students, the book serves as an invaluable resource for understanding energy transition intricacies in the developing world. It emphasises the crucial roles of governance effectiveness, institutional quality, social equity, economic progress, and environmental sustainability in achieving just and inclusive energy futures.
