This paper examined climate change and coping strategies in the Niger Delta, acknowledging that the Niger Delta is associated with carbon emissions arising from oil and gas activities. The paper adopted the Marxist theory of ecology as the theory guiding the study. Data for this study were generated primarily using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Key Informant Interview, whereas, the secondary data were generated from journal articles, books and book chapters and other relevant documentary evidences. The generated data was analyzed qualitatively. The paper found that there exist some measures of coping (like crop diversification) with the manifestations of climate change in the region. The paper therefore, recommends among other things that, the state should support and train local farmers in region with the right (modern) tools (local and international) and technology to cope with the challenge.
