Abstract

This chapter delves into the complex interplay between climate change and economic growth in Nigeria, focusing on the theoretical models that underpin this relationship. It explores the challenges posed by climate change to Nigeria's economic development, including the impacts of environmental degradation, climate-related conflicts, and the country's reliance on oil. The chapter also examines the theoretical models that have been used to understand this relationship, including the Lewis model, the Kuznets theory, and the Solow growth model. It highlights the unique challenges and opportunities that Nigeria faces in addressing climate change, including the need for clean capital investment and the potential for green growth. The chapter also provides a critical analysis of Nigeria's policy responses to climate change, including the country's participation in international agreements and the implementation of economic reforms. It concludes by emphasizing the need for a localized solution that takes into account Nigeria's structural peculiarities and the importance of protecting the environment for future generations.
