With a view of providing an unsurpassed opportunity to college students, who are mostly from Louisiana, in gaining a comprehensive understanding of Global Climate Change issues, we completed the first Nepal Field Experience Pilot Study Abroad from May 21-June 8, 2019. A total of fifteen students from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Louisiana, USA, and one graduate student from University of Arizona, Arizona, USA, participated in the program. Students examined and documented the effects of climate change impacts on agriculture, water resources, wildlife, local communities, forest resources, and other ecological and environmental settings of the country. They identified various climate change mitigation and adaptation measures that had been implemented and noted gaps between policy measures and ground realities. Research topics selected by the students included the following: climate change impacts on wildlife, water pollution, structural geology of Nepal, changing rainfall patterns and adaptation, climate change and agricultural production, geology of Kathmandu valley, air quality of Kathmandu valley, changing hydrology of glaciated landscape, climate change and geohazards, emerging diseases and pests on agricultural crops, climate change adaptation by local communities, green infrastructure and climate-smart technologies, climate change impact on drinking water sources, the roadside geology, and emerging diseases, parasites and zoonotics. Each student completed their individual research project, synthesized the results, and presented to local stakeholders in conference organized by a nonprofit nongovernmental organization, Asta-Ja Rsearch and Development Center (Asta-Ja RDC), Kathmandu, Nepal. Findings of the study reveal that Nepal is experiencing huge impacts of climate change in multiple fronts including atmospheric conditions and snowfall, temperature rise, occurrence of droughts and flooding, changes on monsoon pattern, emerging diseases and pests on crops and livestock, and declining drinking water sources. Environmental pollution, especially the air and water pollution and waste management, was very serious affecting public health, aesthetics, and even the tourism of the country. In order to reverse environmental degradation and enhance climate change adaptation, immediate implementation of effective, comprehensive, coordinated, and well-thought-out climate change adaptation and environmental initiatives are necessary. Nepal Field Experience was a lifetime learning experience for the students.

The paper investigated the causality among carbon emission, oil production and economic growth in Nigeria’s time series data for the period 1970 to 2013. It estimated an autoregressive distributed lag model and used granger causality mechanism to establish both the effects and causal nexus among the variables. The main finding is that oil production and carbon emission had significant negative effect real per capital growth and a significant causal relationship from crude oil production to carbon emission and economic growth. This finding implied that attempts to quicken real economic growth and enhanced welfare through oil production had led instead to a worsen environment degradation and lower quality of life such that the benefit of oil resources endowment was only seen but not felt by people. Hence, possibly the negative impact of oil resources reported in many previous studies in many oil dependent country might indeed be as a result of induced environmental degradation and health hazard due to higher carbon emission in such countries like Nigeria.

Niniejszy artykuł bada związku przyczynowo – skutkowe pomiędzy emisją dwutlenku węgla, produkcją ropy naftowej i wzrostem ekonomicznym w Nigerii na podstawie danych z zakresu czasowego 1970-2013. Oszacowano model z autoregresyjnymi rozkładami opóźnień oraz test przyczynowości Grangera, aby ustalić zarówno efekty, jak i związek przyczynowy pomiędzy zmiennymi. Podstawowe wyniki wskazują, że produkcja ropy i emisja dwutlenku węgla mają znaczący negatywny efekt na wzrost per capita i znaczącą relację przyczynową od produkcji ropy poprzez emisję dwutlenku węgla i wzrost gospodarczy. Wyniki te dowodzą, że próby przyspieszenia rzeczywistego wzrostu gospodarczego i poprawy dobrobytu poprzez produkcję ropy doprowadziły do pogorszenia stanu środowiska i niższej jakości życia, w związku z czym korzyści z wydobycia ropy były tylko widziane, lecz nieodczuwane przez mieszkańców. Z tego powodu możliwy negatywny wpływ zasobów ropy zaobserwowany we wcześniejszych badaniach dotyczących wielu krajów uzależnionych od wydobycia ropy, może także wystąpić w Nigerii w postaci degradacji środowiska i problemów zdrowotnych wskutek wyższej emisji dwutlenku węgla.
