About the Cover

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).
