CLIMATE CHANGE MAY COST NIGERIA
$460BN BY 2050?

-(Ministry of Environment)

For a nation like Nigeria, environmentalism degradation is status quo. In many ways, destroying the environment has been part of Nigeria’s economic development strategy especially given the historical dependence of natural resources and commodities such as oil and timber.

  • Nigeria’s population sits at 170 million but is projected to be 413 million by 2050 (Economist)

  • Between 1990 and 2005, Nigeria lost 80% of its old-growth forests (UN)

  • Lagosians produce 10,000 metric tons of metric waste a day or 3,650,000 tons each year (Economist)

  • Nigerians consume 160, 000 million metric tons of water each year (Water Footprint)

  • In 2007 over 87 percent of government revenues, 90 per- cent of foreign exchange earnings, 96 percent of export revenues, and almost half of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) were accounted for by just one commodity: oil. In 2014, there were 349 oil spills in the Delta region (Amnesty International)
