The study was conducted to assess vulnerability level of
farmers toward climate change in arid ecosystems of
India. A sample of hundred farmers from Jodhpur and
Jaisalmer representing arid ecosystem were selected.
Total twenty-nine socio-economic and psychological
variables were studied and data were collected through
personal interview and focused group discussion. The
statistical techniques like principal component analysis
and regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
The findings revealed a high level of vulnerability as thirtyone
per cent respondents belonged to highly vulnerable
group. The findings of multiple linear regression analysis
revealed that socio-economic variables like land holding,
education, income, awareness level, communication
pattern and psychological variables like achievement
motivation, adaptive behavior, stress and pessimism
were important predictors of vulnerability.
