Bonnievolo Ecoma, in this article, Appraisal of the Legal and Policy Frameworks for Combating Climate Change in Nigeria, appraises the legal and policy frameworks for combating climate change in Nigeria. For decades, the world has been beset by a global phenomenon that threatens the existence of ecosystems on Earth. With time, risks and threats have worsened, just as advocacy and proactive steps towards curbing it have intensified. That global phenomenon is climate change. As a fundamental change in climatic patterns and conditions, and as an environmental and human rights crisis of global concern, climate change has remained a topical issue on the agenda of governments, institutions, and individuals. Given its trans-boundary nature and impact, it represents an immediate threat which requires global collective action. While previous persuasive approaches have yielded less than desired responses and actions by governments and people around the world, the current approach is the adoption of an ‘all hands on deck’ method which requires governments, institutions and individuals to key into the drive to combat climate change. This has resulted in the adoption of climate legislation aimed at reducing anthropogenic contributions to the environmental crisis, and ensuring sustainable practices. In line with the global drive for climate change mitigation and adaptation, Nigeria adopted laws and policies aimed at curbing the global challenge from a national point of view. Against this background and relying on the doctrinal research method, Ecoma examines the legal and policy frameworks for combating climate change in Nigeria, with a view to ascertaining their adequacy or otherwise in addressing the challenge, especially in view of international climate change obligations.
