Abstract

The significance of industrial pollution as one of the contemporary issues and accelerating factors that propel climate change in both developed and developing countries cannot be overemphasized. The problem of industrial pollution has seemingly become intractable with the incessant failure of both global and local environmental policies purportedly emplaced to address its devastating trend, particularly in growing megacities of the world. This study examined the effect of industrial pollution on Greenhouse effect and climate change in Enugu Area. Data for the study was extracted from respondents of Enugu state and the ministry of environment and mineral resources. The method of data analysis adopted was the encoded questionnaires and estimated with linear regression. The study also utilized consciously selected and current literatures on the subject matter. It was discovered that industrial pollution has no significant effect on greenhouse effect and climate change in Enugu Area. This is because Enugu state is still emerging industrialized megacity in Nigeria and hence its industrial pollution does not have significant impact on greenhouse and climate change in the state. The paper however recommends that existing and emerging industries in Enugu should be aggressively controlled on pollution and also advocates involvement of all stake holders in both mitigation and adaptation measures to climate change through enhancement of indigenous knowledge and creation of awareness among citizens about the need to be conscious of their carbon foot prints.
