18 paź 2022 · STORY HIGHLIGHTS. More than 12 million people benefited from the $900 million Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Project (NEWMAP) that reinforced the country’s ability to fight climate induced erosion, natural hazards, and disasters.
20 kwi 2023 · This study assessed the impacts of climate change on Nigerian ecology, vegetation as well as carbon and biomass management. Climate change in different Nigerian zones results in variabilities in temperature and rainfall, thereby affecting Nigerian ecology/vegetation.
NEWMAP is aimed at rehabilitating degraded lands and reducing erosion and climate vulnerability in targeted areas. Specifically, NEWMAP would be implemented in seven States comprising Abia, Anambra, Cross Rivers, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu and Imo.
The Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) is an intervention project for the management of the erosion and watershed challenges in Nigeria more especially within the South-East and South-South of the Country.
218 Environmental Conservation Fig. 1. Sketch-map showing the distribution of established conservation areas ( Strict Natural Reserves) in Nigeria. age - and by biotic factors. The distribution of vegetation depends chiefly on the fact that the climate tends to become drier with increasing distance from the sea.
Analysis of data from the World Bank Group’s Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP) (Table 2) shows information for the latest climatology, 1991–2020. Mean annual temperature for Nigeria is 27.2°C, with average monthly temperatures ranging between 24°C (December, January) and 30°C (April).
This page presents Nigeria's climate context for the current climatology, 1991-2020, derived from observed, historical data. Information should be used to build a strong understanding of current climate conditions in order to appreciate future climate scenarios and projected change.
