The concentration of several greenhouse gases have been increasing since the Industrial Revolution. Several of these Green House Gasses (GHGs) have long atmospheric lifespan of decades to centuries. The implication is that these gases respond slowly to emission control strategies. Occasional benefits of the phenomenon, notwithstanding, Climate Change affects the poor, developing countries, rural areas, the women and children mostly. While developing countries contribute the least to Climate Change they are, however, the most seriously affected, destroying homes, basis of people’s livelihoods and set in motion a stream of migration and refugees with a number of consequences.

This led to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to raise an alarm in 1990. Since then, conferences and workshops have been held, books written and Climate Change courses introduced in the programmes of schools. This programme is an effort at setting standards and procedures in the design, teaching and evaluation of Climate Change programmes in Nigerian Universities. Mainstreaming Climate Change Economics, Policy and Innovation as a programme of study in Nigeria University System has become mandatory as a viable response by tertiary education institutions.
