Abstract
Regardless of the regional variability in the causes and effects of Climate Change, it poses
a major threat to both global human and ecological survival. Therefore, adapting and
mitigating its consequences require an integrated approach which is not mutually exclusive
of any specialization as enshrined in the Kyoto protocol. This paper reviews the concept,
cause, impacts of climate change vis-a-vis the cultivation and viability of Jatropha curcas
plant as a pro-active adaptation and mitigation method to Climate Change phenomenon.
The paper underscores the potential contributions of the plant and its mitigating potentials
against global warming to the Economy. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for
sustained population enlightenment on the benefits of Jatropha curcas cultivation for
climate change mitigation.
