Abstract

The study analysed the impact of climate change and how it affects women’s livelihood in Nigeria. This study employs a comprehensive analysis which wades into the disproportionate impact of climate shifts on women as it relates to factors such as agriculture, water resources and socio-economic dynamics. This is an interdisciplinary approach by the use of qualitative content analysis that aims to uncover the vulnerabilities faced by Nigerian women and it seeks to offer insights in policy recommendations to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. The findings on this study will contribute crucial knowledge to the global discourse of climate change, gender equality and equity emphasising the need for interventions that can help safeguard women’s livelihood in the ever increasing environmental challenges.
