Abstract

Lagos is the largest megacity in Africa, with numerous lagoons and wetlands. Due to anthropogenic activities, Lagos’ wetlands have undergone significant alterations in the last few decades. The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the campaign programs for carbon neutrality in the city offer a plan of action that recognizes the necessity of managing water-related habitats, such as wetlands. Wetlands are essential to accomplishing the SDGs because they provide a solution to many global issues like climate change, food insecurity, and water scarcity. In some ways, each of the SDGs is related to wetlands, but SDGs 6 and 13 are particularly significant to this study. The application of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a crucial tactic for monitoring the achievement of these SDGs.
