“…Diverse adaptability demonstrates no universally accepted standard for planning, assessing, and implementing preventive measures. Additionally, adaptation is characterized by the climatic context since it is contingent on the social, environmental, political, and climate factors in the studied region, all of which vary over time [25]. Due to practical restrictions, we cannot escape climate change's influence on adaptation.…”

The destruction of the earth’s ecosystems is the most pressing issue globally. Carbon emissions account for nearly half of global air pollution. Methane is the primary source of ground-level ozone and a significant source of greenhouse gases (GHGs), with greater warming potential than carbon dioxide emissions. The study examines the impact of the different methane emissions (released by agriculture, energy, and industrial sectors), urbanization, natural resource depletion, and livestock production on carbon emissions in the panel of selected Asian countries for the period of 1971 to 2020. The results show that energy associated methane emissions, livestock production, natural resource depletion, and urbanization are the main detrimental factors of environmental degradation across countries. The causality estimates show the unidirectional relationship running from livestock production and agriculture methane emissions to carbon emissions, from total methane emissions and carbon emissions to urbanization and from urbanization to energy methane emissions and livestock production. The forecasting estimates suggest that total methane emissions, natural resource depletion, and urbanization will likely increase carbon emissions over the next ten years. The study concludes that the energy sector should adopt renewable energy sources in its production process to minimize carbon emissions. Urbanization and excessive resource exploitation must be curtailed to attain carbon neutrality.

“…Similarly, Kunwar and Bohara (2017) find that climate change has led to a reduction in farmland values in Nepal, indicating a decrease in agricultural productivity. A few studies also analyze farming households’ perception of climate change and their adaptive behavior (Budhathoki & Zander, 2020; Rayamajhee et al, 2021; Shrestha et al, 2019). These studies conclude that farming households in Nepal have adopted climate adaptation strategies, but they still do not adequately understand the risks they face and are not prepared to cope with major climatic events.…”

“…19 19 For instance, recent studies focused on Nepal have noted that micro insurance uptake is low (Budhathoki et al, 2019; Rayamajhee et al, 2021). Others have recommended that micro insurance products should be bundled with complementary programs and strategies such as loans to community‐based groups, and effective communication of weather information to overcome low adoption problems (Ali et al, 2020).…”

“…Adaptation to climate change refers to the process in which people attempt to mitigate the hazards of climate change while taking advantage of the positive benefits of climate change (Ogunbode et al, 2019;Gao et al, 2021). At present, the academic circle has conducted extensive studies on farmers' adaptive behavior to climate change, mainly involving farmers' perception of climate change (Rayamajhee et al, 2021), adaptive behavior of climate change (Phuong et al, 2018a,b), willingness to respond to climate change (Hossain et al, 2022). Among them, adaptive behavior of climate change has always been the focus of academic attention.…”

It is of great significance for global environmental governance to guide farmers to effectively perceive climate change. Based on the survey data of 540 farmers in Sichuan Province, China, this study used binary Logit model and Multinomial Logistic Regression model to explore the effects of farmers’ space-time perception of climate change and their interaction effects on farmers’ adaptation behavior to climate change. The results showed that: (1) 88.51% of farmers took adaptation measures to climate change, and 61.11% of them took both passive and active adaptation measures. Among the 7 measures, the highest rate of “Increase irrigation” is 23%, and the lowest rate of “Migrant work” is only 5%. (2) The scale difference of farmers’ time perception of climate change has a significant positive impact on their adaptive behavior of climate change. In terms of time: climate change perception in the next 5 years > in the next 10 years > in the next 15 years. (3) The scale difference of farmers’ space perception of climate change has a significant positive impact on their adaptation behavior to climate change. In other words, spatially, farmers’ perception of climate change is global > national > local village (the perception of local province is not significant). (4) Farmers’ space-time perception of climate change significantly affects farmers’ adaptive behavior. Among them, “farmers’ perception of climate change in the next 5 years” and their own “village’s perception of climate change” play an important role. This study will help deepen the understanding of farmers’ perception of climate change and their adaptive behavior, and provide reference for national policy making.
