Abstract
This study analyzed perceptions of the effects of climate change at the local level in the Yélimané area, Kayes region. A sample of 36 households, six (6) per village, were investigated. Community leaders facilitated data collection through the formation of focus groups. The investigations were carried out using tools such as the interview guide and questionnaires, taking into account the categories of social actors (the elderly, adults, and young people, as well as farmers, opinion leaders and technical services/NGOs). The results showed that communities are affected by climate change through high winds, irregular rainfall, drought, and increased crop pests. The social manifestations were the intensification of transhumance, the multiplication of conflicts over scarce resources. This has led to the spread of food insecurity and the high mobility of the labor force to other locations such as gold panning sites as well as urban cities.
