Abstract

The long-term survival and sustenance of every society are contingent on sustainable environmental management. For a country like Nigeria, with a continuous increase in the rate and intensity of environmental degradation, sustainability practices, laws, and institutions are even more critical. Rapid industrialisation, unchecked oil exploration, and ineffective regulatory enforcement have all contributed to this problem. This seemingly perpetual destruction of the environment ought to be addressed effectively, and specifically by using the country’s legal and institutional frameworks to effect some degree of positive change. However, lapses and gaps in the execution of crucial legislation, combined with gross political negligence and unwillingness to act, have hindered any form of progress. This paper examines Nigeria’s existing legal and institutional frameworks, highlights and evaluates challenges that delimit their effectiveness, and offers some insights into their apparent and expected contributions to environmental sustainability. The paper employs a doctrinal method and relies heavily on primary legislation, judicial authorities, and secondary academic sources, particularly studies from expert legal, socio-political, and environmental scholars. The study concludes with a considerable number of recommendations that suggest important areas of improvement in Nigeria’s broader plan for effective environmental management. This research contributes a comprehensive analysis of Nigeria’s constitutional and legislative frameworks for environmental management, identifying legal gaps and proposing actionable reforms to strengthen sustainable environmental governance.

Abstract

The global community is increasingly concerned about climate change and has explored various scientific methods, including cloud seeding, as temporary mitigation measures. Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that induces precipitation by injecting clouds with chemical substances such as potassium iodide and silver iodide. While this method appears effective in addressing water scarcity and climate-related challenges, it poses severe threats to public health that have not been adequately addressed through legal frameworks. This study examines the effects of cloud seeding on public health and explores the necessity for legal intervention. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, utilizing content analysis of scientific literature, policy documents, and case studies from both primary and secondary sources. Data were scrutinized through descriptive and analytical methods and presented graphically to illustrate key findings. The study reveals that cloud seeding poses significant public health risks, including water contamination, skin cancer or irritation, respiratory disorders, and ecological imbalances. These health hazards stem from the chemical agents used in the seeding process and their potential accumulation in water sources and ecosystems. Furthermore, the research identifies a critical gap in global public health legislation, as no international laws directly regulate cloud seeding practices concerning public health and safety. The study concludes that while cloud seeding demonstrates potential as a climate change mitigation tool, public health and safety must be prioritized. It recommends establishing a comprehensive global regulatory framework to ensure safe practices, conducting rigorous health impact assessments before implementation, and maintaining public transparency in weather modification initiatives. These measures are essential to balance environmental benefits with the protection of human health and ecological integrity.
