Climate change is a global discourse due to its impact on earth. But there is paucity of scholarly findings on its impacts among genders. This study was aimed at bridging the knowledge gap. It specifically assessed the gender and media coverage of climate change in Nigeria. It adopted a purposive sampling procedure, while applying cognitive dissonance and agenda setting theories. Questionnaire prepared on Google form was distributed across 37 WhatsApp groups but only 390 journalists who filled it were chosen as the sample size as recommended by Glenn (1992). Its key objectives were to assess the media coverage of climate change in Nigeria; identify the place of gender in media coverage of climate change; and ascertain the influence of location and sources to media reporting of gender-based climate change stories in Nigeria. The findings showed that gender is not given adequate consideration in media reports of climate change in Nigeria.
