TRACTThe cumulative threat of climate fragility in Nigeria is among the highest in the world. Its ongoing instability and violence significantly limit the state's ability to deal with the country's serious climatic concerns. The first step in this study is to pinpoint the areas and Nigerian populations that are most at risk for climate exposure hazards, as well as the precise threats they face. Secondly, it discusses existing delicate aspects, the state's ability to respond to public demands and delicate components that pose the greatest threats to strength. It significantly acknowledges the fundamental drivers of fragility poor state capability and interactions between the state and society, both of which can fuel instability, and therefore, become a barrier to the attainment of SDGs and peace in Nigeria. Based on an alarming score of 97.2 in the Fragile States Index (FSI), Nigeria is currently the 16th most fragile state in the world. The study conclusion portrays how state's fragile environment gambles uplift uncertainty in Nigeria. Emphasizing that climate change is not just about the environment, but a wide-range of issues, particularly if viewed from the context of state fragility. The study relied on secondary data recommends that Nigeria's government at federal, state and local levels of governance should focus on the twelve conflicts risk indicators as earlier enumerated. Keywords: Fragile State, Fragility, Climate Change, Environmental degradation, vulnerable persons.
