Resumo

The contributions of all and sundry are salient to the global efforts in mitigating climate change-associated challenges. While global communities are rallying round to discuss the effects of climate change with millions of dollars being sunk into the process of mitigation, it is so unfortunate that the perceptions about the climate change menace is quite unwelcomed. The implications of such attitude manifest in the attitude towards the causative actions being noticed which seemed to be unabated, most especially in developing countries. This brief communication examines the case of local perception on climate change in Nigeria and the way forward. Education and enlightenment on the reality of climate change and its manifestations are desirable at both local and international levels by relevant stakeholders.
