    Climate Change: Issues of Environmental Security in Nigeria
    (2018) Olanrewaju-Elufowoju Oluwatosin Kate
    This paper examines the amorphous idea of environmental security underscored by the threats climate change is posing to the security of the nation. Environmental security is concerned with relative safety from environmental change caused by natural or human processes due to ignorance, accident, mismanagement or design and originating within or across national borders. Threats to environmental security are usually diffuse, unintended, trans-national, cause and effect often separated in time and space, have long term implications, and their resolution require commitment and cooperation from a wide range of actors. The crux of the paper is to establish a nexus between the concept of environmental security and climate change. It reveals that environmental security can be interrogated using the Fulani herders’ menace which is a ready example of how climate change is threatening the security of the nation extensively. It further examines the appropriateness or otherwise of Nigeria’s commitment in combating climate change. A qualitative approach is employed and information gleaned were subjected to content analysis. It concludes by shedding light on the need to promote sustainability together with moral and ethical dimensions of resource use. This will help in combating the threat climate change poses to Nigeria’s national security.
