Abstract<\/h2>\n

In this paper the issues of climate change and human security are examined in relation to Nigeria particularly in terms of the consequences of the former on the latter. The paper aims at examining the perceptions and risks of climate change in Nigeria, the variables of human security in the country, and the nature of the links between risks of climate change and variables of human security in Nigeria. The paper is based on secondary data using simple descriptive and content analysis. It argues that climate change presents a serious threat to the human security of the Nigerian communities. It poses a considerable threat to the country, its ecosystems and many of its species. This research is unique and different from previous related studies because basic dimensions or realms of human security, such as economic security, food security, health security, environmental security, personal security, community security, and political security are aggregated, specifically as they relate to Nigeria. It further argues that all dimensions of human security in Nigeria are susceptible to the risks of climate change. To this end, the paper concludes and suggests additional proactive measures of mitigating the scourge of climate change and enhancing human security in the country.<\/p>\n
