Abstract

Climate change presents significant threats to all facets of life. This paper analysed public knowledge and attitude to climate change issues in Ibadan metropolis. Data for the study was collected by administering questionnaire on 478 respondents randomly selected in seven LGA’s in the city. The results showed that the public had low level of knowledge on climate change. The level of public education was observed to be significantly related to the public knowledge of climate change. The study also showed that there is no significant relationship between knowledge of climate change and attitude to climate change. A positive relationship was however observed between knowledge of climate change and attitude to climate change.
