Farmers’ Perceptions of Climate Change and Their Adaptation

发布时间：2021-03-05 17:21

　　The changing climate is a global phenomenon and a challenge for both current and future generations,which scientists around the world overwhelmingly attribute to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.Climate-related hazards will affect people’s lives directly through impacts on livelihoods,reductions in crop yields,or destruction of homes and indirectly through,for example,increased food prices and food insecurity.Impacts of climate change are predicted to be particu...
