Floods & extreme rain
Heavier downpours and river flooding destroy homes, farmland and roads. The 2022 floods alone claimed over 600 lives.
Climate action & Green Earth
Climate action, grounded in science
Nigeria’s meteorologists measure the changing climate every day. AMPON turns that knowledge into early warnings, education and green action — so communities can adapt and the land can recover.
Nigeria’s climate reality
A changing climate, felt in every zone
From the Sahel to the Niger Delta, Nigeria faces almost every climate hazard on the continent. Each one is, first and foremost, a weather problem — and each one can be managed better with good science and timely warnings.
Drought & desertification
Erratic rainfall and advancing desert threaten food security and livelihoods across the northern states.
Rising heat
Hotter days and nights strain health, energy and productivity — especially in fast-growing cities.
Coastal change
Sea-level rise, storm surges and erosion put coastal communities and infrastructure at risk.
The case for early warning
Warnings work — when they reach people
Just 24 hours’ warning of a coming storm or heatwave can cut the resulting damage by 30%. Yet too many Nigerian communities still hear about extreme weather only when it arrives.
AMPON members produce and interpret the forecasts. Our job is to make sure they are understood and acted on — by farmers, fishers, schools, local governments and emergency responders.

Our climate agenda
Five commitments for a greener, safer Nigeria
What we champion as the professional body for Nigeria’s meteorologists — and where your support makes the biggest difference.
Early warnings for all
Supporting the UN Early Warnings for All initiative by helping weather and climate warnings reach the last mile in local languages.
Climate literacy
Bringing climate science into secondary schools through ProCYM, and into homes and markets through ProWAM.
Green Earth action
Tree planting, land restoration and green-campus advocacy with schools and communities — because healthy land shapes healthier weather.
Climate-smart farming
Helping farmers understand seasonal climate predictions so they can plan planting, protect harvests and reduce losses.
Science for net zero
Offering expert input to policy-makers on adaptation, clean energy siting and Nigeria’s path to net-zero emissions by 2060.
Partner on a commitment
Each commitment can be sponsored, co-designed or scaled with you. Let’s talk about the impact you want to see.

Green Earth
Restoring the land that shapes our weather
Trees cool our cities, hold soil against floods and slow the advance of the desert. Our Green Earth advocacy brings meteorologists, students and communities together to plant, protect and restore.
- Tree planting with schools alongside ProCYM visits.
- Community restoration days led by members in every zone.
- Clean-energy advocacy — solar and wind expertise from those who measure the resource.
How you can help
Turn concern into measurable action
Fund a school weather station
Give a school its own instruments, lessons and a mentor — science students can see and touch.
Sponsor an outreach
Support a ProWAM or climate-literacy campaign in a community or state that matters to you.
Plant with us
Join or sponsor a Green Earth planting day with your staff, students or community.
Share data & expertise
Collaborate on climate-risk research and sector advisories with practising meteorologists.
