Abstract

This review evaluates the effectiveness of environmental legislation in enhancing disaster resilience using case studies from Nigeria and the USA. A comparative analysis examines legislative frameworks and their implementation in these diverse contexts. Findings reveal disparities: Nigeria faces challenges in enforcement due to institutional weaknesses, corruption, and resource limitations, leaving communities vulnerable. The USA, conversely, shows a more structured approach with robust mechanisms, leading to greater resilience. However, both contexts need improvements in institutional capacity, public awareness, sustainable practices, and international cooperation to bolster disaster resilience.
