Abstract
Climate observations are essential for understanding the complexities of the global climate system; indeed virtually all breakthroughs that have been made in understanding climate have come from observations. Observations provide critical benchmarks for testing and further developing our predictive capability through models.
Nigeria needs to translate the landscape of national policy commitments into an assessment of risk and opportunity across the value chain. At the same time, Nigeria has to pay attention to conserving her natural resources and improving the status of our environment.
