Climate Impact Assessment Of The Defurring Section of Anagada Livestock Market, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria

The findings demonstrate that the continued use of waste passenger car tyres for livestock defurring constitutes a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions and establishes the defurring section of the Anagada Livestock Market as a high-emission livestock processing environment with implications for climate change, air quality, occupational health, and livelihoods. The study concludes that immediate interventions are required to eliminate waste passenger car tyre burning from livestock processing operations.

It recommends the adoption of complete skin removal (flaying) as an interim emission mitigation measure, the modernization of the processing facility, and the long-term transformation of the processing unit into a model climate-smart livestock processing facility through the adoption of clean, energy-efficient technologies, sustainable livestock processing practices, and gender-responsive approaches to promote emissions mitigation and enhance inclusive participation. </p><p dir="ltr"><br></p>
