Abstract: The paucity of climate journalism in Africa is a lamentable reality. The media bridges the gap between the government and the citizens; it is the powerhouse of developed countries and serves as a watchdog for political leaders. Over the years, the media in Africa has done little to educate the masses on climate change, which is currently a global challenge. In this essay, We examine the current state of climate change in Africa, focusing on West Africa taking Nigeria and Ghana as case studies. Furthermore, this essay will hone in on the current state and recent development of climate journalism and will propose some working hypotheses on how to augment the practice in developing countries, particularly Nigeria and Ghana (West Africa)
