As the world's climate changes, largely due to the spade of industrial "progress" and increase in human number, the emission of Green House gases into the atmosphere has grave implications on human health globally Within this context, 'third world' countri hit by the immediate impact of climate change, even though they contribute least to the cause of the problem -emission of Green House gases, in comparison with their counterparts in the global North. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) have been proven to be responsible for global warming with the consequent threat to climate change. This paper contends that climate change is a major threat facing human health and existence in Nigeria and attempts a critical analysis of the roles of developed and developing countries in contributing to the problem. It raises empathetic tone for the world's less privileges and future generation. The paper focuses on the impacts of climate change on Nigeria's economy, agriculture, health, security paper submits that for the effects of climate change to be effectively resolve or managed in Nigeria and indeed globally, there should be, among other things, a sustained commitment on the part of the developed economies towards assisting developing countries in tackling the problem; attitudinal change and reorientation on the part of the populace towards environmental security and green-friendly initiatives, adaptation to climate change requires public health strategi improves surveillances. The paper ends with way forward on how causes of climate change can be adapted as well as mitigated.As the world's climate changes, largely due to the spade of industrial "progress" and increase in human number, the emission of Green House gases into the atmosphere has grave implications on human health globally Within this context, 'third world' countries, including Nigeria are the worst hit by the immediate impact of climate change, even though they contribute least to the cause of emission of Green House gases, in comparison with their counterparts in the global HGs) have been proven to be responsible for global warming with the consequent threat to climate change.

Coastal aquaculture in Aceh was severely affected by the Asian Tsunami in December 2004. Capacity building among stakeholders was one of the key activities implemented by various agencies during the post‐tsunami aquaculture rehabilitation and subsequent development phase. The main objective was improving production efficiencies and farmer incomes. This article describes the process of implementation of the approach and crop outcomes until the end of 2009. In 2009, 1135 farmers and their 1296 ponds were ‘organized’ in 27 clusters across 84 villages of three districts to implement better management practices (BMP). Interventions reduced the prevalence of shrimp disease outbreaks significantly in participating ponds (22.45%) compared with non‐participating ponds (62.64%). Among the normal harvested ponds, though there was no significant improvement in shrimp yield but costs of shrimp production were significantly reduced by 12.1% and benefit cost ratio was significantly increased by 0.523 points in normal harvested participating ponds compared with normal harvested non‐participating ponds. Multivariable logistic regression analysis with 27 independent variables including a set of BMP showed that many factors were significantly associated with the normal harvests, improved yield and profits. The study shows that simple management improvements can reduce risks and improve economic returns.
