“…Taking a closer look at a true representation of Africa, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and Nigeria's vehicle fleet accounts for around 8.4% of the total vehicles in use in the continent ( Deloitte, 2016 ). Nigeria’s rapidly growing population continues to strain existing infrastructure, transportation and energy, in particular ( Dioha et al., 2019 ). Nigeria's transportation sector is powered almost entirely by fossil-derived gasoline and diesel, which is incompatible with climate mitigation actions from the long-term perspective ( Dioha et al., 2021 ).…”

“…Most of these countries have a sizable undeveloped but aspirational population, emphasizing the country's development needs. Thus, energy consumption will undoubtedly increase because of population growth and a desire for socio-economic development (Dioha et al, 2019). Making choices regarding addressing unmet energy requirements while preserving the environment is undoubtedly complex.…”

“…Most of these studies are based on bottom-up energy accounting models focusing on either the techno-economic feasibility, energy supply, and emissions impacts of the energy supply and energy demand sectors (such as power, transport, building, industry, etc.) (Emodi et al, 2017;Grande-Acosta and Islas-Samperio, 2017;Dioha et al, 2019;Islas-Samperio et al, 2019).…”

Global concerns over increasing carbon emissions, climate change, decreasing environmental quality, limited and uneven endowments of fossil fuels, rising energy demand, and volatile oil prices have inspired the move toward global energy system decarbonization. The challenges of achieving ambitious climate targets and sustainable development cannot be solved without the significant efforts of the Global South. Regarding net-zero emissions, the main issue for developing countries is avoiding future emissions from industrialization and lock-in into fossil fuel-intensive technologies. However, achieving strategic and ambitious climate targets in the Global South will require understanding the economic implications of decarbonization. This study’s objective and key contribution are to systematically review and provide a detailed assessment of the literature on decarbonization in the Global South to understand the multi-level economic implications of achieving net-zero emissions in the Global South. The assessment considers four broad themes–investment costs, employment impacts, economic growth, and other macroeconomic impacts (such as consumption, debt level, net savings, income and welfare, and trade balance, among others). Overall, the review finds that energy system decarbonization requires substantial investment outlay. Also, it is linked with job displacement in fossil energy sectors and job creation in green sectors. However, there is no unanimous evidence on net job creation in developing countries. Additionally, the GDP impacts are ambiguous; some studies find future GDP growth impacts, while others find GDP decline impacts of decarbonization scenarios. This paper also provides directions for future research.

“…Droughts have also become constant in Nigeria, and they are anticipated to persist in northern Nigeria as rainfall declines and temperatures increase (Amanchukwu et al, 2015). Lake Chad and other lakes in the nation are drying and in danger of disappearing (Elisha et al, 2017;Dioha and Emodi, 2018). In addition, temperatures increased dramatically during the 1980s (Enete IC, 2014;Federal Ministry of Environment, 2014).…”

Fluctuations in rainfall and increasedtemperatures serve as indicators of climate change in Nigeria. However, a comprehensive examination of climatic variables and their spatial distribution within Delta State is lacking in the literature. Previous studies on climate change predominantly rely on data from ground-based monitoring stations. However, these stations fail to cover all geopolitical zones within Delta State, posing significant challenges to climate monitoring research. To address this research gap, this study employs the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS) and ERA5_Land reanalysis datasets to analyzerainfall and temperature trends spanning from 1983-2023 in Delta State, Nigeria. The statistical significance of these trends was determined using the Mann‒Kendall testand Sen’s slope trend test. Additionally, ArcGIS 10.7 was used to map the spatial distribution of rainfall and temperature in the region. The results revealed a decreasing trend in rainfall from 1983-2023. However, this decreasing trend was not statistically significant (p-value> 0.05). Spatially, rainfall has been decreasing in certain regions of Delta State. For the temperature, the results show an increasing trend from 1983-2023. This increasing trend in temperature was statistically significant (p-value < 0.01). The spatial map shows that Oshimili North, Oshimili South, certain areas of Burutu, certain areas of Warri South West, and some parts of Warri North experienced the highest temperatures throughout the study period. The study's findings will be helpful to environmental managers and policymakers in developing creative strategies to lessen the negative effects of climate change.
