“…In developing nations, very few people are concerned about the consequences of such natural and human actions and or inaction that constitute threat to climate. This was remarked by Adeboyejo et al (2011) that vast majority are less concerned on the causes, effects and probably the control measures necessary to salvage the future from the looming dangers of environmental degradation. Although Nigeria recognized climate change as the greatest challenge to sustainable development particularly in most cities of which Lagos State is among those that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.…”

Against the background of incessant climate change, this paper examines the causes, impacts, as well as residents' measures of adaptation to climate change in Etiosa West and East Local Government Lagos State. The study utilizes both primary and secondary sources of data. A total of 222 questionnaires were administered to the respondents using random sampling techniques. Data collected were analyzed using both parametric and nonparametric statistical analytical tools. Likhert scale was used to examine the causes, evidence/impact and mitigation against the impacts of climate change. Also, ANOVA was used to determine the variation of climate change impact across wards in the study area while Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to determine the dependability of residents' awareness on their level of education. Climate records of Lagos from NIMET were also utilized to examine change in climatic parameters. The study reveals that the most prominent cause of climate change is deforestation (RAI 3.60), while the major impacts of climate change are high rise in sea level (RAI 3.87), fluctuation in the period of rain fall (3.22) and increase in temperature (RAI 3.22). The result of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) reveals fluctuation in rainfall, disappearing of water bodies, temperature increase, extinctions of plants and animals and water scarcity have a coefficient of 0.00, 0.015, 0.034, 0.022 and 0.00 respectively. This implies that the stated effects above are significant and vary across the wards in the study area,. The result of correlation analysis reveals negative correlation with r=-0.135, which implies that residents awareness is not determined by their level of education. It also showed positive low correlation between average annual temperature and years when r=0.342 and between annual Rain rainfall and year r=0.22. The study recommends that residents should provide green space around their building premises, maintain adequate set back and relocate from water fronts before overflow of bank. Government should discourage developments towards the coastline and also embark on planting of trees to serve as buffer zones at coast line region.

“…The health implications and problems emanating from varying human activities have both direct and indirect consequences. This include maladjustment to advanced technology (Hosier and Kipondya, 1993), socioeconomic livelihood that is largely tied to land (Rosenzweig and Foster, 2003), poverty in the society and inadequacies of infrastructure, which has led most people to adopting crude methods of energy use (Adeboyejo et. al., 2011).…”

The paper analyses the incidence of indoor air related diseases (IARDs) in selected hospitals in Ogbomoso Nigeria. It employed secondary data from clinically diagnosed indoor air related diseases for the period of six years (2009-2013) and three year (2011-2013) where applicable. The data were analyzed using descriptive chi square to examine the variation between incidence of diseases and socioeconomic characteristic of patients in the study area. The paper reveals that the most predominant indoor air related diseases within the reviewed years were enteritis (78.5%); asthma (5.6%); cough/sneezing (4.7%) and bronchitis (3.8%) and that more females (53.5%) than males (46.4%) were susceptible to IARDs. Some 61.1% of working class age and 14.0% of infants were victims of IARDs within 2008-2013 period and year 2012 had the predominant (31.8%) incidence of IARDs in the city. Incidence of IARDs were higher at medium (13.0%) and high (13.9%) residential density areas but highest (71.9%) among patients whose residential densities were not recorded. However, tests of variations among patients' age, gender, density of residence, incidence and treatment of IARDs were significant with p-values of 0.000. The paper recommends measures to reduce exposure to air pollutants particularly on building designs to allow for more window openings and cross ventilation; behavioural adjustment to make women and children spend little time in service areas; encouraged patronage of medical care, and public-private partnership in providing and maintaining health facilities in communities

“…Therefore, the consciousness of which eco-friendly activities to embrace is still shallow and calls for environmental education. The understanding of the persistent fluctuations in climate is still negatively skewed owing to high level of illiteracy, poor socio-cultural dispositions and mystification of scientific and physical evidences of change in climate among local people (Ogundipe, 2006;Adeboyejo et. al., 2011).…”
