“…Climate change is a long-term, global or regional change in average temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns over seasons, years, or decades (WB, 2022) and has wide-ranging social, economic, political, geographical, ecological, and psychological implications (Abbass et al, 2022). Due to this, climate change has become a political issue on the world development agenda of the twenty-first century (Buhaug et al, 2023). Agriculture is a major source of climate change (through greenhouse gas emissions), which in turn is also a cause for the reduction of agricultural productivity by about 21% (Cornell University, 2021).…”

Background: The impact of climate change on smallholder farmers in underdeveloped countries—specifically, Ethiopia is widely recognized. Farm households employ a range of geographically and temporally varying adaptation strategies to cope with the adverse consequences of climate change. Therefore, it is critical to examine the few empirical studies that examine how rural Ethiopian farm households confronting drought have responded to climate change to ensure food security. Primary data were collected from 385 randomly selected farm households using a semi-structured survey form. Data analysis was performed using endogenous switching regression models and descriptive statistics. Result: Results show that the majority of the sample households (76.7%) adopted climate change adaptation strategies (livelihood diversification, soil and water conservation, and chemical fertilizers separately or in combination) while the remaining 23.3% are non-adopters. Climate change knowledge is validated as an instrumental variable. Model results revealed that adopter farmers would have significantly lower (11.6%) daily calorie intake if they had not adopted them, and non-adopter farmers would have gained significantly higher (12.8%) daily calorie intake if they had adopted them. Sex, marital status, land fragmentation, education, family size, farm size, credit access, extension contacts, and livestock ownership are significantly associated with the likelihood of adoption. Results also show systematic differences where the sex of the head variable is inversely related to the food security of adopters and vice versa for non-adopters. Conclusion: The majority of farm households in the study area know the implications of climate change (73.5%) and suffer from food insecurity (59%). Farmers' knowledge about climate change and variability varies, affecting social, economic, biophysical, and institutional issues. This was shown using descriptive statistics and OLM data. Farm households led by young, male farmers who are married, frequently interact with extension agents, have access to loans and information about climate change, and have non-fragmented plots possess greater knowledge about climate change than other households. Adaptation interventions should consider the above factors and heterogeneities to increase adoption and improve the food security of farm households in the study area.

“…Poor habitat connectivity and limited access to microclimates have a significant role in increasing vulnerability to climate change and intense heatwave events. For instance, climate-driven growth in the distribution of worldwide mangroves is causing oscillations in carbon sequestration rates (Buhaug et al, 2023). Correspondingly, the significant migration of tropical fish populations has paved the way for heightened herbivory due to the disappearance of kelp-forest ecosystems in different locations and their occupation by the seaweed turfs.…”

Climate change causes long-term weather changes from the tropics to the polls. It is a global threat that strains several sectors. The present study conducts a review analysis that theoretically explores how climatic variability is degrading global sector sustainability. Due to irreversible weather variations, the agricultural sector is particularly vulnerable. In turn, it is disrupting worldwide consumption patterns, especially in countries where agriculture is central to their economy and productivity. Due to shifting optimum temperature ranges, climate change is also increasing biodiversity loss through modifying ecosystem architecture. Climate change increases the risk of food, water, and vector-borne diseases. Antimicrobial resistance, which is developing due to resistant pathogenic infections, is also accelerated by climate change. Climate change also hurts the forestry sector and tourism business. This review examines global socio-economic and environmental climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and their economic consequences. According to the findings, knotted answerability of resources and laws created in the past to generate progressive climate policy need government involvement for long-term development. Thus, addressing climate change's dire consequences demands global cooperation to maintain world survival.

“…Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing humanity in the twenty-rst century and has detrimental effects on the environment, human health, and the economy on a worldwide scale [1,15,8]. According to the IPCC report, the biggest contribution to climate change comes from increased carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere since 1750 [89].…”

The increase in the demand for buildings to cater to the rising population and urbanization has contributed to extreme climate change due to the continuous emission of greenhouse gases during the construction and operational stages of the building. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the potential of smart buildings as a tool for combating climate change and mitigating its adverse impacts on the environment. A mixed-methods approach of interview guides, an observation checklist, and a questionnaire were used for this study. A total of ten buildings from various countries were chosen using the purposive sampling approach. Structured interviews and questionnaires were conducted and administered to building industry professionals to understand how smart buildings help mitigate climate change. Findings indicate that smart buildings help keep an eye on energy consumption, thereby lowering the quantity of greenhouse gases released while the building is in use. Also, research shows that the integration of smartness in buildings through material and method use lessens the environmental impact of building construction and operation and contributes to a more sustainable built environment. The research concluded that, due to the increasing climate change, the integration of smartness into our buildings is of utmost importance in addressing climate change and its effects. This will also provide a more sustainable and resilient environment while accommodating future population growth.
