摘要：Climate change poses major threat to Nigeria, particularly in the southwest region where Ibadan is a major city. There are several studies conducted at state, regional and national level but a continuous understanding of the knowledge and impact at a local level is required for appropriate interventions. Climate changes are caused either naturally or by human activities while the human activities pose major impact on the changes in climatic conditions thereby causing more harm to the developing countries such as Nigeria. Addressing climate change issues and promoting sustainability in the environment requires tangible progress in implementing mitigation and adaptation measures in the environment. This paper reviews the impacts of climate change on Ibadan and also discusses the adaptation and mitigation measures which must be implemented to prevent future damages. The populace of Ibadan should be continuously informed of the adaptive and mitigation measures so as to prevent future hazardous impact of climate change in their environment.
