Although most greenhouse gas emissions come from the global north, Africa will soon face some of the most severe impacts of the climate crisis.
The country of Nigeria is in a uniquely vulnerable position.Nigeria is located in the Gulf of Guinea, just north of the equator. Due to its size and geographical location, Nigeria is at the risk for a great variety of climate-related challenges. Its northern region, which borders the Sahara, are experiencing increasing rates of desertification. Its low-lying coastal areas meanwhile, are facing rising sea levels and flooding. Despite these challenges, the NigerianGovernment has set admirable and susitainability goals. " I want you to act as if the house is on fire, because it is " _ Greta Thunberg Image Credit: UNICEF |

Hello Hassan, this is your mentor Hannah. Sorry for the late comment!
Yes, not only cimate crisis but also water deficit is a problem in Nigeria, right?
I've heard of Sahara's harsh environment but didn't know the whole Nigeria is vulnerable to climate crisis.
Thank you for your great article and please keep up with your wonderful work :) Happy new year!
Sincerly,
Hannah

Hello Hassan, this is your mentor Joon.
Green house emission is a serious problem among different countries. Ministries of
each countries are encouraging people not to use materials that could affect the environment
such as CFCs. It would be even better if you have added specific examples of Nigeria.
Well read your article.
Best,
Joon
