“…This leads to the conclusion that most respondents have sufficient experience to have adequate knowledge of the area's climatic conditions. This is in line with the findings of Fadairo et al (2022) that the longer the period over which a respondent has been living in a community, the better their understanding of the environmental and ecological conditions there.…”

This research aims to explore the impacts of climate change on communities in low-income countries. A review of the literature on this important and pressing global topic is presented. Since this issue is multidimensional and complex, we try to approach it comprehensively. The social quality scientific perspective has specific affinity with traditional African “holistic thinking.” The empirical part of our research concerns a study in northern Nigeria on rural residents’ perceptions of various aspects of environmental changes caused by climate change, and the impacts on the social quality of their daily lives. The protective effects of a community development project (the National Climate Change Policy Response, NCCPR) are also explored. Farmers appear to be the most vulnerable group. Climate change significantly compromises their socioeconomic security, personal security, well-being, and health. We conclude that communities in low-income countries will continue to suffer disproportionally from various kinds of climate-caused disasters. Community development projects have the potential to decrease their vulnerabilities. This article justifies a strong normative plea to the countries that have caused the human misery depicted to take responsibility by contributing to restoration payments and enforcing sustainable behavior of CO2-emitting industries.

“…At the same time, cities in the midstream, upstream, and tributary areas should create more economic, social, and ecological values by establishing a comprehensive and effective "Ecological+" industrial chain while maintaining a balanced ecosystem. Differentiated strategies (44) can better adapt to the local situation and promote its development.…”

“…It is, however, a major threat to livestock productivity (Agbeja et al, 2021). Flooding, droughts, erosion, off seasonal rains, are some of the climate change impacts that have sent the growing season out of the way of a rain-fed dependent country (Nzeh et al, 2016;Fadairo et al, 2022).…”

Recurring elongated dry seasons in South west Nigeria pose a significant threat to livestock production. Knowledge of adaptation strategies to build resilience and lowers vulnerabilities to climate change among livestock farmers is limited. This study assessed livestock farmers’ knowledge of resilience strategies in farm management during dry seasons in southwest Nigeria. Using a purposive sampling procedure, a total of 118 farmers were interviewed on knowledge of livestock management during dry periods, specific challenges to management, and opinions on efficient livestock management. The result shows that increased feed costs challenged farmers during the dry season while insufficient funds were identified as the most severe constraint. Knowledge of management was high among 42% of farmers and 89.5% of them disagreed on the mechanism for temperature control structure in livestock building. Knowledge of good management practices was influenced by farmers’ ability to read and write in Yoruba language (χ2= 9.179; p < 0.05) and constraints faced (r = 0.21; p < 0.05). Climate change information in local languages will improve livestock farmers’ resilience to challenges induced by unpredictable climate change.
