Land uses changes, CO emission and water pollution in kano metropolis Nigeria towards low carbon society

The aim of the study is to assess environmental impacts of rapid urban growth in relation to land uses changes, air and water pollution towards low carbon society (LCS). Geographical Information System (GIS) was used for the land use analysis. The study covers 35 years from 1984 to 2019 Carbon mono...

The study of Land uses Changes indicate that agricultural land use significantly dropped down by (-49.94%) within 1984 to 1988, but in 1998-2019 it deeply dropped by (-84.90) while annual rate of agricultural land is (-3.57%) between 1984-1998 and 1998-2019 (-4.04).
