Climate change and engineering construction practices in Nigeria

Abstract

Climate change is a global on-going phenomenon that is driven by anthropogenic emission of green house
gases. It is the global change in temperature or the total sum of the meteorological elements that
characterized the average and extreme condition of the atmosphere over a long period of time at any place
or region of the earth’s surface, and it is also the regular pattern of weather conditions of a particular place.
This paper Examines climate and Engineering construction practices in Nigeria, causes and sources of
climate change, the effects of climate change, and Engineering responses to the effects of climate change.
