In recent years, climate and environmental changes have increasingly affected various regions across Nigeria, leading to significant disruptions in the lives of internally displaced persons (IDPs). This report presents an assessment conducted to evaluate the impact of these changes on IDP households living in camps across 10 states in two regions: north-central (Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Niger, and Kogi states) and north-west (Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, and Zamfara states). The assessment aimed to understand how climate and environmental events such as floods, sandstorms, windstorms, droughts, and erratic rainfall patterns have influenced the livelihoods, migration patterns, and resource access of IDP households.
