Abstract
Agriculture sustainability has been threatened by climate change. Climate change affects not only food production but also harms the social life of farm households. This paper assesses farmers’ perceptions of climate change issues, the scale of its impact on farm households, and measures the sensitivity, adaptation strategies, and the livelihoods vulnerability of farm households in Yogyakarta. Two hundred and four farm households representing coastal and mountainous farm households were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and the Livelihoods Vulnerability Index (LVI) methods are used to analyze data. The results show that most farm households have low awareness of the issue of climate change as well as low-scale exposure and sensitivity to climate change. Meanwhile, the level of adaptation strategies for coastal farm households is slightly higher (better) than mountainous farm households. Livelihoods vulnerability indexes reveal that agricultural households in coastal and mountainous areas are at a low level of vulnerability related to climate change.

Summary
At least 70 percent of sunlight reaches the earth's surface due to various shortwavelength spectrums. The outer layers of the atmosphere will deflect thirty percent of solar radiation directed to the planet. It will be absorbed both on land and in water. Some gases in the atmosphere, including water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4) will trap this radiation. These gases absorb and reflect the radiation waves emitted by the earth and cause the heat to be stored on the surface of the Earth [1]
