Apart from the conventional inputs for cocoa production, climatic parameters have a significant effect on yield of crop globally. However, existing literature suffers knowledge gap farmers' perceptions climate and its nexus with data. The chi-square test independence, standardized anomaly index (SAI), multiple regression, z-distribution, descriptive statistics were employed to investigate socioeconomic impacts yield. registered farmers (280) Osun State Cocoa Growers Association (OSCGA) in Nigerian Humid Zone interviewees.

Abstract The climate crisis exacerbates social, economic, and health disparities. This study employs innovative methods to identify distinct groups affected by recent events. A mobile phone-based survey was conducted in April 2022 with individuals residing multiple climate-affected states across three countries: India ( n = 1020), Mexico Nigeria 1021). Latent class analysis classification regression tree were used the most exposed events, effects responses taken, then characteristics associated group membership. Effects included housing damage or lost work, while actions such as borrowing money dropping out of school. Findings revealed four groups: Group 1 reported low exposure, no effects, (49% respondents India, 43% Mexico, 27% Nigeria); 2 experienced hazards moderate some responses; 3 characterized drought exposure more taken; 4 heavy flooding rainfall varied effects. Notably, had largest proportion (17%), over a quarter (29%) 4, half Nigerian (52%). Characteristics membership each country. Overall, men from rural areas lower incomes reliant on agriculture highest levels vulnerability, urban women higher-income households least affected. underscores importance considering intersectionality risk vulnerability when formulating policies programs address impacts change. Results emphasize need for multi-sectoral that target needs different groups, reduce inequalities tailor context-specific vulnerable people households.
