QUANTIFYING THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON HEALTH IN NIGERIA-A CASE STUDY OF KANO STATE

Abstract:

This research seeks to comprehensively assess and quantify the intricate interplay between climate change and public health, focusing on the specific case of Kano State, Nigeria. With the intensifying impacts of climate change globally, regions like sub-Saharan Africa face unique challenges, and Kano State serves as a microcosm reflecting these complexities. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating meteorological data, health records, and socio-economic indicators to elucidate the direct and indirect consequences of climate change on the health landscape.

The investigation unfolds against the backdrop of Kano State’s vulnerability to climatic variations, marked by increasing temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and heightened frequency of extreme weather events. Through rigorous data analysis, the research aims to quantify the correlations between climate variables and health outcomes, such as the prevalence of waterborne diseases, vector-borne illnesses, and respiratory conditions.

Furthermore, the study assesses the resilience of existing healthcare systems and community adaptive capacities in the face of climate-induced health challenges. Insights gained from this research are expected to inform evidence-based policy recommendations, aiding in the development of targeted interventions and adaptive strategies to enhance public health resilience in the context of a changing climate. The findings will contribute not only to the scientific understanding of climate-health dynamics but also to the formulation of region-specific policies geared towards safeguarding the well-being of communities in Kano State and, by extension, similar regions grappling with the intricate intersection of climate change and health.
