“…Internal factors include lack of money, lack of knowledge, and farming experience. Ten external barriers factors were also determined; poor market facility, poor credit facility, technical knowledge support in the adaptation process, the high cost of farm labor, lack of water source for irrigation, lack of access to pesticide, poor infrastructure, poor support from local government, NGOs, and lack of technical officers (Deressa et al, 2009;Ullah et al, 2018;Abid et al, 2019;Ado et al, 2019;Karimi et al, 2020). Ethnicity is the category variable.…”

“…To address this limitation, this research examined how the farmers' adaption intentions were impacted by certain constraints. Generally, researchers make use of the descriptive method to study the influence of adaptation barriers on farmers' adaptation to climate change (Bryan et al, 2009;Dang et al, 2014;Simonet and Leseur, 2019;Karimi et al, 2020). However, investigated the same topic using the regression model is scarce.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to take into account relevant factors in relation to adaptation barriers. To examine the factors affecting farmers' intention to adapt to climate change impacts, this study assumed that the farmers' adaptation intentions were influenced by socioeconomic variables and explanatory variables (i.e., internal and external adaptation barriers) listed in Bryan et al, 2009;Deressa et al, 2009;Dang et al, 2014;Ullah et al, 2018;Abid et al, 2019;Ado et al, 2019;Islam et al, 2020;Karimi et al, 2020). Due to limitation of time and avoid sensitive and insignificant variables, some variables were missing (e.g., farm size, women's access).…”

“…Climate change adaptation could be confining and challenging when farmers face barriers and constraints such as high-cost of labor, lack of farm input, inadequate finance, insufficient water resources, poor access to market and information, lack of field officers, and inadequate credit facilities (Masud et al, 2017;Karimi et al, 2020). Moreover, adaptation process varied between regions, countries, and types of barriers.…”

Climate change has adversely affected the agriculture of indigenous farmers. Farmers can lessen agricultural losses by using adaptation strategies to climate change. However, the adaptation process depends on several factors, including barriers. This paper examines the farmers’ opinion toward adaptation barriers and tries to identify how the barriers influence farmers’ adaptation intention. We collected data from 362 randomly selected farmers by using face to face interview method and focus group discussions in Backan province, Vietnam. The severity index technique was applied to calculate farmers’ perception of barriers and climate change vulnerability indexes, and we used the probit model to determine the factors affecting farmers’ adaptation intention. The results indicate that farmers identified 10 internal factors and 14 external barrier factors that influence the adaptation intention. Moreover, probit model confirmed that farmers’ adaptation intention was significantly affected by education level, major occupation, income, lack of technical process, high cost of farm labor, lack of access to pesticides, and lack of technical officers. As a result, climate vulnerability indexes and barriers, and adaptation factors should be considered for designing and performing the policies in the future for indigenous farmers.

“…An additional consideration is global warming and the degradation of the natural environment, which emphasizes the need for resilience policies to foster mitigation and long-term adaptability in the SADC and other developing countries and regions [25]. Climate change is set to be a significant catalyst of worldwide environmental, social, and economic change [26]-particularly in developing countries where agricultural production is vulnerable to environmental alterations, which presents a looming disturbance to a sector that contributes a significant share to economic production and employment [27]. Specific to the SADC, the impact of climate change is "expected to be compounded due to the region's high poverty levels, weak infrastructure, poor management of natural resources and dependence on rain-fed infrastructure" [28] (p. 133).…”

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) and its member countries are potentially vulnerable to external disturbances, including environmental, economic, and social shocks. Regional policy emphasizes interventions to ensure long-term growth and development in the face of potential disturbance. Current emphasis is placed on mitigating the impact of climate change, including the creation of the SADC Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan. However, the need for long-term adaptation and associated policy is evident to reduce regional vulnerabilities. Research is an important source of evidence to support policymaking, with specific importance to institutions in developing regions such as the SADC and during times of global change and disruption. SADC development policy related to resilience outcomes ought to be informed by research. This paper investigates the extent to which existing research supports regional resilience policymaking. Objectives include investigating available research on resilience in the SADC, identifying potential limitations, and delineating areas of future research to be considered by researchers that contribute to knowledge and evidence creation. A bibliometric review and selective content review of existing research were utilized. Relevant publications for the aforesaid analysis were delineated using the source concepts “resilience”, “adaptation”, “adaptability”, and “Southern African Development Community” (or “SADC”). Using the SCOPUS database, bibliometric data of 65 publications were imported into the VOSviewer application (v.1.6.17). Keyword occurrences and network and overlay visualizations were applied to identify the research themes underlying current research. The findings, which were supported by the selective content review, indicate that existing research focuses primarily on environmental and social disturbances, while the applicable regional planning scale and development policy are considered to a limited extent. Areas of future research ought to create evidence that is thematically relevant to policy areas and applicable to policy interventions, which necessitates increased research on economic disturbances, a broadening of existing themes to the appropriate regional planning scale, and consideration of explicit regional development objectives and policy. Transdisciplinarity ought to be central to future research on the diverse disturbances facing the region, while researchers ought to leverage knowledge-creation opportunities catalyzed by SDG implementation.
