ABSTRACT
The protection of the environment and its resources through climate action forms part of the blueprint of the United Nations to achieve a better and sustainable future for all. With the grave threat global warming and other climate changes, poses to the possibility of achieving this goal, most countries have begun to enact legislations seeking to regulate and mitigate climate changes. There is evidence of commitment among member states of the international community towards legislations that guarantee the protection of climate and the environment in general. Nigeria, in seeking to join the movement, has enacted a plethora of legislations that seek to regulate climate change in the country. However, there exists much skepticism about its feasibility, particularly as the legislation of climate change in the country seems inadequate and low. Most Nigerians are still in flagrant breach of relevant laws regulating climate change in the country and are yet to understand their duty to protect the environment. Also, corporate and social responsibility as it relates to climate change in almost non-existent in the country. This long essay therefore, seeks to appraise the litigation of climate change in Nigeria. The success or otherwise of existing systems in different countries will also be reviewed and also, the challenges of implementation of climate change legislations as well as the inadequacies of its litigation in Nigeria will be highlighted. Conclusively, positive recommendations will be made on the issue.
