Abstract
The majority Ethiopian women are largely engaged in the agricultural sector, which is highly vulnerable to climate changes. This study, aims at analyzing the determinants of women’s response measures of climate change in the Dubti Woreda. This article designed as a cross-sectional research design and employed qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Data was obtained from primary and secondary sources. Moreover, both the probability and non probability sampling techniques were employed. Accordingly, this article found that five major response mechanism to the consequence of climate change. The result from the binary logistic model reveals that age, access to training, farming experience, access to credit service, radio and mobile services determines women’s response methods to the consequence of climate changes. Finally, the article recommends for greater investment in women education and training to address the above mentioned challenges. Keywords: Climate change, Response Strategy, Binary Logistic Regression Model. DOI : 10.7176/JCSD/47-03 Publication date : April 30 th 2019
Highlights
Background of the Study The impact of climate change is increasing from time to time
The poor are the most vulnerable to climate change and women are among the greatest number share of the poor, because women constitute more than 70% of the overall worldwide population living below the poverty line, and this implies how many women are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change compared to other groups (Ulrike, 2006)
The quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical tools such as to characterize various response measures being adopted by women and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 was employed as the tool of analysis
Summary
Background of the Study The impact of climate change is increasing from time to time. Climate change causes for floods, droughts, cyclones and desertification processes and this put the population of the world, especially developing countries at high risk and can undermine the development efforts to reduce poverty (Anne, 2009). The poor are the most vulnerable to climate change and women are among the greatest number share of the poor, because women constitute more than 70% of the overall worldwide population living below the poverty line, and this implies how many women are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change compared to other groups (Ulrike, 2006). Ethiopia’s overall vulnerability to climate change was ranked 10th of 233 countries (Center for Global Development (CGD), 2012) and climate change are considered a significant threat to the development of the country (ACCRA, 2011). Ethiopia’s development and growth potential have been held back by climate variability, uncertainty and change (Dinku et al, 2011)
