Background of the Study
Climate change presents a significant challenge to communities worldwide, and the impact is particularly felt in local communities that lack the resources to adequately respond to environmental stresses. In Funtua Local Government Area (LGA), Katsina State, the consequences of climate change, such as unpredictable weather patterns, drought, and desertification, are increasingly evident. These changes affect agriculture, water availability, and food security, all of which are critical to the well-being of the region’s residents. In response to these challenges, local governments have an essential role to play in implementing policies and initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change. Local government contributions to climate change mitigation may include promoting sustainable agricultural practices, reforestation programs, water conservation measures, and the reduction of carbon emissions through cleaner technologies. However, there is limited research on how effectively Funtua LGA has contributed to climate change mitigation. This study aims to evaluate the local government’s contributions, focusing on its policy initiatives and practical interventions aimed at combating climate change and improving the resilience of the local population.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing awareness of climate change and its impact on the environment, Funtua LGA has faced challenges in effectively mitigating climate change due to factors such as limited financial resources, lack of technical expertise, and insufficient community involvement in climate action programs. The policies implemented by the local government may not fully address the pressing environmental issues or may lack the necessary resources for successful execution. This research aims to investigate the local government’s role in mitigating climate change and assess the effectiveness of its policies and programs in reducing the adverse impacts of climate change in Funtua LGA.
