“…Nearly one-fourth respondents (25% and 28%) were also aware that change in soil moisture and increased risk of drought were other effects of climate change. The findings were supported by researchers [15,16,17,18] who reported that majority of the farmers perceived increase in temperature and variation in rainfall was due to climate change. The findings were in tune with the study [15] who also reported that very low percentage of farmers perceived raise of soil temperature and fast evaporation of soil moisture as other effects of climate change.…”

The study was conducted with the aim to study the extent and level of farm women awareness about climate variability and its effect on water resources. The study was conducted in three agroclimatic zones of Punjab, India. One district from each zone was selected purposively for the investigation. A sample of 120 randomly selected farm women was interviewed. The data was analyzed using appropriate statistical tools like frequency, percentages, mean weighted scores. Majority of the farm women (>60%) are fully aware that pollution, deforestation, paddy straw

“…Ahmad and Ma [16] reported similar findings, which indicated that a decrease in precipitation, longer summers, and variations in the growing season were verified by farming communities. The magnitude and frequency of climatic extremes such as floods, droughts, and temperature fluctuations have been anticipated and are realized in recent years [59,88]. Numerous researchers have argued that environmental factors are not only responsible for vulnerability, but also the poverty levels of countries [41,52,89,90].…”

Pakistan is an agrarian nation that is among the most vulnerable countries to climatic variations. Around 20% of its GDP is produced by agriculture, and livestock-related production contributes more than half of this value. However, few empirical studies have been conducted to determine the vulnerability and knowledge of livestock herders, and particularly the smaller herders. Comprehending individual perceptions of and vulnerabilities to climate change (CC) will enable effective formulation of CC mitigation strategies. This study intended to explore individual perceptions of and vulnerabilities to CC based on a primary dataset of 405 small livestock herders from three agro-ecological zones of Punjab. The results showed that livestock herders’ perceptions about temperature and rainfall variations/patterns coincide with the meteorological information of the study locations. The vulnerability indicators show that Dera Ghazi Khan district is more vulnerable than the other two zones because of high exposure and sensitivity to CC, and lower adaptive capacity. However, all zones experience regular livelihood risks due to livestock diseases and deaths resulting from extreme climatic conditions, lower economic status, and constrained institutional and human resource capabilities, thus leading to increased vulnerability. The results indicate that low-cost local approaches are needed, such as provision of improved veterinary services, increased availability of basic equipment, small-scale infrastructure projects, and reinforcement of informal social safety nets. These measures would support cost-effective and sustainable decisions to enable subsistence livestock herders to adopt climate smart practices.
