Climate change has become a global crisis to the extent that it has become an emergency. And central to the sensitisation of the public and policy-makers are the mass media. The focus of this research therefore was on evaluation of Nigerian mass media coverage of climate change and its effects on Abuja residents. The research design was survey, while the population was 4, 025, 734. Further, the sample size was 300, while the sampling techniques were purposive and accidental sampling techniques. A key finding of the research was that the Nigerian mass media have been able to sensitise the public on the climate crisis to a large extent. One major recommendation is that the Nigerian media should continue to sustain the remarkable achievement recorded in the area of climate reporting in the country.
