The problem of municipal solid waste has remained intractable in Nigeria despite the state’s central role in municipal solid waste management (MSWM). Policy and reforms of the MSWM system have invariably excluded the informal economy, with this exclusion frequently reinforced by uncritical implementation of neo-liberal development policies. Yet, the informal economy fortuitously remains active in solid waste collection, recycling, and disposal. This article is the aggregate outcome of an 8-year multi-stakeholder engagement in MSWM in Nigerian cities.

This paper analyses the existence of convergence in residential water consumption across geographical regions using econometric methods taken from the economic growth literature and a panel of water consumption of 348 Chilean localities from 2010 to 2015. Convergence was found, and the main causes were factors related to economic and climate variables.

Despite the increase in international remittance flows to Nigeria, there is dearth of studies on the linkages between international migration, remittances and household welfare in the country. This paper investigated the linkages between international migration, remittances and household welfare in Nigeria by examining household consumer and durable assets as welfare indicators as against the use of income and recurrent expenditure as indicators of the impact of migration and remittance on households.

This study utilized qualitative methods and the urban political ecology (UPE) framework to situate changes in scope and content of undergraduate geography curriculum in Nigeria within the domain of education for sustainability. It was stimulated by significant curriculum-related events in the geography department of the University of Nigeria, and strategic policy developments in research governance in the university. Having cultural sustainability as its overarching concern, the reform initiative focused on solid waste management (SWM), a challenge with roots in cultural activity.

The aim of this study was to examine the level of awareness of Niger Delta communities about impacts of climate change and to identify and document indigenous innovations and practices for adaptation to climate change by farmers in the region. Three states were randomly selected from the nine states that make up the Niger Delta. Multistage sampling technique was used to interview 400 heads of farming households in Cross Rivers, Delta and Rivers States. Analysis of the data utilized simple descriptive statistics, while the results were presented as tables, figures and charts.

Despite the importance of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in household consumption especially in Nigeria, where 47 million people were unable to meet the 2,900 kcal food requirement in 2004, they have hitherto been neglected by planners policy makers and natural resource managers. To encourage its recognition and conservation, sustain benefits, this study analyses the place of plant species of NWFPs in household food security in Southern Nigeria.

This study determined the adaptation and coping strategies adopted by farmers under yam- and cassava-based farming systems in Ebonyi and Enugu States in Nigeria's derived savannah agro-ecological zone. The study uses data from 400 farmers. The likelihood that the farmers engage in some actions to cushion the effect of climate change was determined using a probit model and a multi-nomial logistic regression. The results of the study revealed that the main outcomes of climate change were flooding (71.29%), decline in crop yields (65.1%), food price increases (62.87%), and food

The study determined the sustainable land management (SLM) practices used by farm households for climate change adaptation in South East Nigeria. Four hundred farm households selected through a multistage random sampling procedure from Enugu and Ebonyi States of Southeast Nigeria were interviewed for the study. Probit model was employed in estimating the determinants of SLM.
