The effects of climate change and earth degradation in Nigeria is evident in flooding, damage to infrastructure around ecotones, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. The built environment being the site for cultural and economic activities contributes greatly to environmental degradation, thus a key area to frontier sustainable development.

Hotels and resort facilities now, acclaim green qualities, presenting a platform where regener...
