Sea level rise (SLR), flooding and windstorm happen more often as these phenomena are increasing by the day. Aquifers are getting more alkaline, acidic and turbulent with devastating effects on ecosystems, buildings livelihood and infrastructures thereby causing economic huge losses affecting most especially the poor and the less privileged. Most communities, in the coastal region have adopted local adaptation strategies to deal with extreme weather events phenomena according to their capacity with catena ranging from continuous routine maintenance, determination to co-exist on a pleasing/sustainable environment. Therefore, this paper seeks to investigate socio-economic characteristics effect in adaptation strategies in accordance with Representative Concentration Pathway-shared Socio-Economics Pathways (RCO-CGE) integrated assessment model using Cramers’ V-test to identify the relationships between socio-economic characteristics and buildings’ condition, accessing the causes and effects under extreme weather events. Result shows that all changes in socio-economic parameters in conformity with SSP1 pathway (though some weak, moderate and strong respectively) with or without climate policies,could always affect building condition because of their positive relationship. It was observed that enhanced socio-economic characteristics offers more consciousness and economic growth/capacity in terms of building type, location, choice of building materials, construction methodology, finishes, sanitation, waste management options, water supply, electricity and erosion control and aesthetics among the affected individuals. A good income guarantees the choice and quality of livelihood and environment that is pleasing as well as graciously being able to achieve sustainability.
