Abstract:

The majority of people living in Ohangwena, Oshana and Oshikoto regions depend on small-scale farming, either with livestock or crops or both, for their daily livelihoods. All these natural resourcebased livelihoods are vulnerable to climate change to some extent. People have already observed the ongoing natural variability and that there are changes in patterns of the growing seasons, and the last few years have been marked by extreme weather conditions. It is clear that climate change will have profound impacts on our lives in the near future. Although it is not possible to predict what effect future climate will have, it is clear that farmers and resource users need the tools to be able to manage associated extreme situations and risks.
