Abstract
The relationship between various Traditions of Christian Eco-theology (TCE) on urban green spaces and implications on climate adaptation in African context remains blurred in the literature. This study assesses the meanings given to urban green spaces and perceptions of different TCE on climate adaptation with a view to identifying how the duos could guide climate policies. Onsite cross-sectional ethnographic interviews of forty-three key informants were carried out in fifteen Christian denominations in three South-western Nigeria Yoruba cities of Ile-Ife, Osogbo, and Abeokuta. Content analysis of interview responses was carried out. Thematic results suggest the followings: climate change denials; divine Sovereignty on climate issues and eco-spirituality; eco-theological approaches to urban climate adaptation; human capacity for climate adaptation strategies; and human ‘dominion over nature’. These mechanisms are framed as policy guidelines for climate adaptation.
