“…The level of vulnerability depends on environmental and socioeconomic factors (Adger et al, 2005). Environmental factors include climate conditions, quality of soil, topographic exposure, and availability of natural resources, whereas the level of technological development, infrastructure, income, political setup, institutional strength, credit availability, and access to international markets are socioeconomic factors (Adger et al, 2003; Sarun et al, 2018).…”

Climate change is a global event that poses one of humanity's most serious threats. Consequently, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to adapt to the effects of global climate change while lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence farmers' adoption of CSA practices in the Wondo Genet Woreda in southern Ethiopia. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with 213 randomly selected households (HHs). In the study, descriptive statistics, a composite score index, and an ordered logit regression model were used. Farmers' awareness of CSA practices was high, which aided them in increasing farm income and farmland productivity. Tree planting, the use of organic manure, and the use of irrigation systems were the most CSA practices in the study area. Furthermore, the findings revealed that education, HH size, income, climate change perception, and farmland size all had statistically significant effects on farmers' adoption of CSA. Meanwhile, the distance between the farm and the homestead had a negative and significant effect on the level of CSA adoption. Finally, socioeconomic factors should be considered when developing and implementing CSA programs for farmers.

“…The second broad category of researchers explores the factors influencing climate vulnerability, including socioeconomic and governance factors, considered components of adaptation readiness in ND-GAIN metrics [19,40]. A notable interaction between these factors and vulnerability is evident, though with mixed findings, as reported by [22,[41][42][43][44]. One specific focus is the association between socioeconomic factors, including wealth and education levels, and climate vulnerability.…”

Addressing climate vulnerability remains a priority for economies globally. This study used the panel-corrected standard error (PCSE) methodology to investigate the impact of adaptation financing on climate vulnerability. This analysis examined 52 African countries from 2012 to 2021 while considering their climate adaptation readiness. The impact was also assessed based on the Human Development Index (HDI) categories to reflect different levels of development. The findings showed that adaptation finance considerably influenced climate vulnerability reduction in Africa, particularly in nations with a moderate HDI. However, most countries still need higher levels of adaptation financing, resulting in a small impact on vulnerability reduction. Furthermore, the impact of readiness measures differed by HDI category. Economic and social climate readiness strongly impacted climate vulnerability in high-HDI nations, but governance preparedness was more critical in low-HDI countries. Based on the empirical facts, two policy proposals emerge. First, it is critical to reconsider the distribution of adaptation financing to reduce disparities and effectively alleviate climate vulnerability. Moreover, African economies should consider implementing innovative localized financing mechanisms to mobilize extra adaptation finance. Second, African governments should customize climate readiness interventions based on their HDI levels to improve the achievement of a positive impact on climate vulnerability.
