Limited empirical studies have focused on effects climate tribes This study aims assess risk vulnerability among employing modified Mann–Kendall (MMK) test identify trends, a assessment framework based Intergovernmental panel sixth report (IPCC-AR6), multiple linear regression (MLR). The MMK indicates an increasing trend rainfall (MMK = 1.099) temperature. However, household perceptions reveal high awareness climatic changes, with 97% respondents reporting irregularity 98% documenting increased summer hot days. shows that households face higher (0.107) than (0.068), which is determined by exposure sensitivity. MLR results further emphasize 12 23 indicators significantly affect (R-squared 0.698), events (β 0.015), housing structure 0.07), food security being key contributors. findings indicate long-term trends are already affecting livelihoods.
