Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, grade: A+, , language: English, abstract: Climate change has adversely affected many communities and countries around the world, however, poor people in less developed countries are the most affected. The research investigated the negative impacts of climate change on rural communities in the Vubwi District in the eastern province of Zambia using observation, trend analysis, Pearson Regression, and Multiple Regression. Simple and Purposive sampling was employed to collect samples from the population, of 6096 rural households. The finding of the analysis was that 78% of the respondents were adversely affected y the impacts of climate change, while 22 were not badly affected. The local people lacked access to early warning and facilities such as dams for harvesting rain water for irrigation in times of drought and animal drinking. It was recommended that early maturity seed varieties be introduced to the rural poor people and scaling up means to livelihood diversity such as chicken rearing and adopting drought resistant crops such as cassava.
