In CCAPS Working Paper No.2, Ignatius Madu assesses the spatial patterns of vulnerability to climate change in Nigeria. The analysis shows that the more vulnerable households are in the northern states which experience frequent drought and are characterized by a high degree of rurality and poor socioeconomic development.

This paper assesses subnational vulnerabilities to climate change in Nigeria as a foundation for evaluating adaptation priorities and highlighting the security implications of climate change and adaptation. It identifies state, national, and regional governance channels to build resilience and address security challenges in Nigeria.

In CCAPS Working Paper No. 1, Joshua Busby, Todd Smith, Kaiba White, and Shawn Strange discuss the CCAPS vulnerability model that combines data on physical, socioeconomic, and political insecurities. The researchers then uses geographic information systems (GIS) to locate the confluence of these various types of vulnerability.
