Impact of Climate Change and Biodiversity Losses on Livelihoods

By Teryima Jude Nyor, Bunde Clifford Gaga, Evangeline N Mbah

Impact of Climate Change and Biodiversity Losses on Livelihoods of Rural Households in North Central Nigeria stems from the urgent need to understand and address how environmental changes affect vulnerable rural communities. North Central Nigeria, with its agrarian economy and rich natural biodiversity, is particularly sensitive to climate variability and ecosystem disruptions. As climate change intensifies, the impacts on agricultural productivity, food security, and economic stability become increasingly severe, putting rural households-whose lives are intimately tied to the land-at high risk. This book is driven by the recognition that climate change and biodiversity loss are not isolated phenomena but interconnected challenges that jointly impact livelihoods. This work also seeks to fill a knowledge gap in current literature on the specific regional impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss in Nigeria. Policymakers and development agencies need targeted data and insights to craft effective, localized interventions that can support sustainable livelihoods, strengthen food security, and promote ecological conservation. it serves as a resource for researchers, practitioners.
