The study evaluated the effect of climate change on sustainable development in Nigeria. Specifically, the study sought to: investigate the effect of carbon emission on sustainable development in Nigeria and examine the effect of green-house gas on sustainable development in Nigeria. This study used ex post-facto research design. The method of data analysis used are Augmented Dickey-Fuller Unit Root test statistic, Johansen Co-integration test, fully modified Ordinary least square method and Histogram Normality Test. The empirical result showed that carbon emission has negative and insignificant impact on sustainable development in Nigeria because [t-Statistic; 0.8360; P-value (0.4102) > sig-value (0.05] and green-house emission has positive and significant impact on sustainable development in Nigeria because [t-Statistic; -0.8360; P-value (0.2303) > sig-value (0.05]. This study concludes that climate change has negative and insignificant impact on sustainable development in Nigeria. The study identify that green-house emission (GRHG), carbon emission (CARBON) and Deforestation (FOREST) have negative and insignificant impact on sustainable development in Nigeria. The study recommended that policymakers should focus on increasing the proportion of biomass energy consumption in total energy use to establish a sustainable future. Biomass energy consumption in terms of renewable energy rises environmental quality; hence, with increasing economic development.
