AI-generated Abstract

This study examines the livelihood vulnerability of farming and fishing households in the Niger Delta, Nigeria, focusing on the impact of climate variability, conflict over resources, and environmental pollution. Key findings indicate high levels of insecurity and income loss due to changes in temperature and rainfall, as well as the degradation of water and land from pollution. The research highlights the importance of adaptive capacity and socio-demographic factors in assessing vulnerability and suggests that households with male heads and younger members show varying sensitivities to climate shocks and conflict situations.
