Purpose Climate change is an undeniable reality that threatens people’s livelihoods. Flooding and saltwater intrusion, along with the rising sea levels, are affecting agricultural aquaculture livelihoods in Myanmar’s coastal areas. Although climate adaptation gaining popularity as a resilience strategy to cope negative effects of change, both agriculture- aquaculture-farmers more often deterred from implementing strategies due practical availability socioeconomic barriers adaptation. This study aims evaluate factors influence farm household’ choice measures. Design/methodology/approach was conducted 599 households (484 rice-farmers 115 fish farmers) based areas Myanmar during 2021–2022 explore farmer’s measures determining factors. The multinomial logit regression (MLR) model used examine influencing farmers’ strategies. Findings found out use variety methods at level, building embankment (23.4%) agriculture net-fencing measure (33.9%) farming being most popular Farmers’ decisions adopt influenced by such distance market, education level household head, remittance income early warning information, among others. also discovered COVID-19 has had impact on employment opportunities members well consequential effect adoption Furthermore, lack credit (42.4%), labor shortage (52.8%), pest disease infestation (58.9%), high input costs (81%) lower product prices (73%) were identified major households. Originality/value demonstrates pandemic farm-level households’ measures, removing encouraging techniques potential recovery actions required. highlighted adaptive capacity should be strengthened through formal informal training programs, awareness raising, exchange information development proper scheme programs.

Ethiopia is a rainfall-based agricultural country that susceptible to the impacts of climate change and risk. Floods droughts, which happen more frequently intensely, significantly negatively influence production. The objective meta-analysis identify on various sectors, adaptation strategies, challenges in Ethiopian context. Twenty-three peer-reviewed articles were identified from ScienceDirect Web Science, followed by PRISMA guidelines, analyzed using Stata version 13. results reveal agriculture (by changing crop suitability, phenology, productivity), environment, society, resulting shifting temperature rainfall patterns. Temperature variations, patterns precipitation, severe weather conditions have profound implications for productivity, water resources, ecosystems, human well-being, are multifaceted interlinked. In addition, reviewed informed us farmers used different coping strategies response change, such as soil conservation, agroforestry practices, integrated fertility management, small-scale irrigation, application improved varieties, use livestock, mixed cropping, early late planting, practice income-generating activities. random effects meta-regression result shows effective implementation above-mentioned practices reduces risk sectors. assessment also points out many realization these approaches, lack financing, institutional support, insufficient stakeholder involvement, ecological sociocultural factors, limited access information. concludes addressing requires holistic approaches encompass sustainable land social resilience-building help resilience communities ecosystems face climate.

Analyzing agricultural and hydrological drought at different timescales is essential for designing adaptation strategies. This study aimed to assess in the Abbay Basin of Ethiopia by using multiple indices, namely standardized precipitation index (SPI), evapotranspiration (SPEI), normalized difference vegetation (NDVI), condition (VCI), severity (DSI). Climate extremes were assessed over between 1981 2022. The results indicate that years 1982 2014 most drought-prone, while year 1988 was wettest Basin. revealed presence extremely dry severely conditions, potentially impacting output region. Agricultural identified during main crop seasons (June September). VCI indicated wet conditions. In 2012, 65% area affected extreme nearly half experienced 2013 DSI occurrence drought, although spatial coverage conditions lower than other indices. 2003, 78.49% moderate whereas severe 20% 2010, about 90% drought. provides valuable insights communities, enabling them mitigate impact on yields utilizing An adequate knowledge policymakers potential effects socioeconomic activities recognize significance implementing climate change measures.

Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring determinants multiple CSA focusing on crop production. This used data from 271 randomly selected smallholder farmers Gamo, Gofa and Konso zones southern Ethiopia, a multivariate probit (MVP) model analyse data. Crop diversification, irrigation, drought-tolerant early-maturing varieties, integrated soil fertility management, pest management were prominent improve productivity, increase adaptivity capacity, mitigate adverse change in area. The study's findings indicate varies considerably between agroecology. MVP simulation result reveals farmers' decisions for are highly interdependent, indicating adopt two or more adaptation mitigation strategies as mutual practices. Furthermore, regression education level farmers, extension contact, accessing variability information, access irrigation facilities, social group participation similar underlying affected decision By providing respective organizations should encourage utilize available alternate climate-resilient varieties.

Enhancing livelihood resilience is an effective approach for smallholders to cope with climate change in which governments play important role. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated the impact of policy measures on smallholders' (SLR), especially case vulnerable Tibetan Plateau. Based a longitudinal survey 321 households semiagricultural and semipastoral region Hehuang Valley during 2017–2022, this study assesses changes SLR. By adopting multinomial logistic model, SLR was been further explored. The results show that focal area increased from 0.100 2017 0.122 2022. Policy low-interest loans, irrigation facilities, improved seed information sharing significant positive role enhancing SLR, whereas training skills subsidies no influence In addition, coverage facilities promotion need be improved. not only help local government understand effectiveness existing but also provide recommendations improving
