520			_abeen and is still a major contributor to greenhouse gases emission (approximately about 16.4% as at 2021 globally). However, due to the contemporary incessant climatic change, historical climate is no longer a reliable predictor of future risk. This work reviews the interaction between transport and climate with the aim of evaluating the consequences of future climate change for the infrastructure and operations of Nigeria’s transportation system; and then infer on means to which meteorological services and transport infrastructure would be effectively improved towards supporting the transportation system in Nigeria. Within this study, the ministry of environment and ministry of transportation situated in Nigeria was used for the survey. Questionnaires having qualitative and quantitative metrics were then designed; administered and primary data was obtained for analysis. SPSS statistical software was used for the analysis; and meaningful conclusions were drawn. From this study, it was concluded that most of the respondents (approximately 87%) were quite knowledgeable on the subject matter. Amidst this finding, it is also gathered that majority of them (approximately 62%) were quite more conversant with the road’s transportation means of transportation than other means, even though they were also quite knowledgeable with the other means of transportation. Also, most of the critical transportation facilities seem to be fairly but not strongly impacted with extreme climate variability. Finally, responses from respondents showed that majority of the respondents (approximately 82%) were not only aware, but with very strong conviction of agreement that future climatic changes would have strong impacts on the transportation system/infrastructures. Although (approximately 65%) of respondents agreed that the government had invested and are still investing in infrastructures that would always protect the transportation facilities from the negative impacts of climate changes, nevertheless (approximately 72%)of the respondents also agreed that a lot is needed to be done in order to optimally protect these infrastructural facilities in Nigeria against adverse effect of future climate variability on transportation systems/infrastructure. Thus, solutions were proffered to solving the future impacts of these climatic changes on Nigeria’s transportation systems and infrastructure. Keywords: Climate, Green House Gases, Transportation.
