    Climate Change-Induced Migration and Farmers-Herders Conflict in Nigeria
    (Global Challenges for the Environment and Climate Change, 2024) Duruji M. M.; Bella Faith
    Climate change-induced migration and the ensuing conflict between farmers and herders have become increasingly prevalent in Nigeria, posing significant challenges to rural livelihoods and national stability. This paper explores the intricate relationship between climate change, migration patterns, and the escalation of tensions between farming and herding communities. Drawing on empirical evidence and scholarly research, it examines the drivers behind these phenomena, including environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and socioeconomic disparities. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the socio-political implications of such conflicts, highlighting their impacts on food security, displacement, and communal harmony. Policy recommendations are proposed to address the complex interplay of factors contributing to this issue, aiming to foster sustainable adaptation strategies, mitigate conflict risks, and promote resilience among affected communities.
