Abstract
Nigeria is one of the country’s most vulnerable to carbon emission (CO2). A basic understanding of public perception on vulnerability, attitude and the risk in relation to Carbon Emissions and health provide strategic directions for government policy, adaptation strategies and development of guidelines. The aim of this research was to collect data on people’s knowledge and perception about Carbon Emissions and their impact on health. A cross-sectional survey was conducted online from 20th to 31 August 2021. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data among 129 people online. This research revealed that respondents had a low and inconsistent understanding of climate change and its impact on health. To reduce carbon emission, we built a carbon emission recommender system, which would calculate carbon emitted by individuals and industries and then suggest alternative resources that can be used to reduce or mitigate carbon emission.
