The aim of this quantitative survey study is to examine the level of awareness of climate change impacts and adaptations strategies among women in Ardo-Kola Local Government Area, in Taraba State, Nigeria. Primary data utilized include the socio-economic characteristics of respondents namely, age, educational qualification, occupation and data on awareness, impacts and adaptation strategies to climate change. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selection of 220 respondents. The data were subjected to descriptive and chi-square analyses. Result shows that higher percentages of women (81.8%) in the study area are aware of climate change and submitted that climate change has affected their economic activities in recent years. The Chi-Square test of association revealed that education and occupation influence women’s level of awareness and knowledge of the causes of climate change but age does not. The respondents’ assessment of climatic element in the last 20-30 years agreed with the experts reports; that is, increase in temperature, changes in annual distribution of rainfall, increase in flooding, frequency and length of dry spells are on increase, sourcing for water and fuel wood are the major domestic activities mostly affected by climate change (Ref: Anita H Philip, Vincent N Ojeh, Ejati D Tukura. Awareness of climate change impacts and adaptation strategies among women in Ardo-Kola, North East Nigeria. Climate Change, 2018, 4(14), 95-111).

A study was conducted to assess farmers’ awareness of climate change and to investigate the various adaptation measures they employ to counter adverse effects of climate change in four selected sub-counties in the semi-arid eastern. The study utilised data collected through face to face interviews of 200 households using a structured questionnaire.
The weather data for the period of more than 30 years 1980 onward of twenty-two meteorological stations located in arid, semi-arid and humid agro-climatic zones in the hills and plains of north-west India were used in this study.
Climate change is very common but red-hot issue in the global arena while Bangladesh is already treated as one of the most vulnerable area to climate change and is highlighted through the last two world climate change conference at Warsaw in Poland (2013) and Paris in France (2015).
Nigeria is one of the most desert prone countries in Africa and the problem of desertification is expending southwards from 12o 30’ to 10o 30’. In addition, rivers and lakes are being silted leading to rapid drying up of water bodies. A typical example is the case of the receding Lake Chad.
Climate change vulnerability is the degree to which change in climate may damage or harm a system and the ability of that system to adapt to new climatic conditions. This paper sought to explore the vulnerable groups in climate change.
