Building Resilience of Aquatic Communities to Climate Change in Lagos State: Green Mobility,Innovation,Climate Cobenefit

This study examines green mobility initiatives in Lagos as a strategy for climate mitigation and aquatic ecosystem resilience. Using policy analysis, gray literature, and city-level implementation data, it evaluates reforms led by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency. Key measures include the introduction of CNG buses on BRT corridors, emissions monitoring, planned Low Emission Zones, mandatory vehicle emissions testing, and investments in rail and water transport. Findings show that cleaner transport reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves air quality, and limits pollutant deposition into lagoons, benefiting fisheries-dependent communities. Non-motorised transport investments further enhance public health, economic productivity, and social equity. The study concludes that integrating transport, environmental regulation, and aquatic ecosystem management strengthens urban climate resilience and supports sustainable development in coastal megacities.
