Abstract :
This paper delves into the comprehensive
impact of climate change in Nigeria, emphasising the
critical role of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in
formulating mitigation and adaptation strategies. It
highlights the significant threats climate change poses to
Nigeria's ecological balance, economy, and societal
structure, including altered temperature patterns, more
frequent extreme weather events, and ramifications for
agriculture, water supply, and health. It underscores the
urgency for effective responses to protect the nation's
welfare and economic integrity. The study showcases the
potential of IoT technology as a pivotal tool in crafting
innovative responses to climate change challenges. It
demonstrates how IoT can bolster Nigeria's resilience
through enhanced agricultural methods, better
management of water resources, and more efficient
energy utilisation. IoT devices' real-time data gathering
and analytical prowess facilitate precise environmental
monitoring, timely disaster warnings, and resource
optimisation. The discussion extends to mitigation tactics
like shifting towards renewable energy, improving
energy efficiency, and sustainable land use, alongside
adaptation strategies that include building climate-
resilient structures, advocating for water conservation,
and applying climate-smart agricultural practices to
safeguard food security. Advocating for a cooperative
strategy that integrates efforts from the government,
private sector, academia, and communities, the paper
stresses the importance of incorporating IoT solutions
into national climate action and development strategies
for a unified and robust approach to climate-related
challenges. It concludes with a roadmap for the future,
proposing policy reforms, investments in IoT
infrastructure, skill development, and heightened public
awareness as essential moves towards a sustainable,
climate-resilient Nigeria. By strategically deploying IoT
technologies, Nigeria can mitigate the detrimental
impacts of climate change and tap into new avenues for
economic and environmental prosperity.

agriculture, water supply, and health. It underscores the
urgency for effective responses to protect the nation's
welfare and economic integrity. The study showcases the
potential of IoT technology as a pivotal tool in crafting
innovative responses to climate change challenges. It
demonstrates how IoT can bolster Nigeria's resilience
through enhanced agricultural methods, better
management of water resources, and more efficient
energy utilisation. IoT devices' real-time data gathering
and analytical prowess facilitate precise environmental
monitoring, timely disaster warnings, and resource
optimisation. The discussion extends to mitigation tactics
like shifting towards renewable energy, improving
energy efficiency, and sustainable land use, alongside
adaptation strategies that include building climate-
resilient structures, advocating for water conservation,
and applying climate-smart agricultural practices to
safeguard food security. Advocating for a cooperative
strategy that integrates efforts from the government,
private sector, academia, and communities, the paper
stresses the importance of incorporating IoT solutions
into national climate action and development strategies
for a unified and robust approach to climate-related
challenges. It concludes with a roadmap for the future,
proposing policy reforms, investments in IoT
infrastructure, skill development, and heightened public
awareness as essential moves towards a sustainable,
climate-resilient Nigeria. By strategically deploying IoT
technologies, Nigeria can mitigate the detrimental
impacts of climate change and tap into new avenues for
economic and environmental prosperity.
