Abstract

Indicators of adaptive capacity, such as access to financial resources, diversified livelihoods and access to weather information play a major role in reducing vulnerability against climate change. In this study a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore factors of vulnerability facing cotton farmers in semi-arid regions of Pakistan. Adaptive capacity is significant in determining the overall vulnerability at the household level.
