    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;ABSTRACT&lt;br&gt; Adverse effects of climate change are determined not only by the changing climate but also by&lt;br&gt; sensitivity of human and natural systems to these changes (Roncoli, et al., 2001). Vulnerability&lt;br&gt; and adaptive capacity varies both in space and time. Many factors contribute to vulnerability and&lt;br&gt; adaptive capacities, including: physical, political, institutional, financial, market forces, available&lt;br&gt; information and technologies (Smit &amp;amp; Pilifosova,2003).&lt;br&gt; This study aim to assess livelihood vulnerability of smallholder farmers to climate change and&lt;br&gt; their adaptation strategies in Wadla Woreda, North Wollo, Ethiopia.. the section of society most&lt;br&gt; vulnerable to climate change impacts on food security status and reason behind it to know&lt;br&gt; constraints that aggravate vulnerability to climate change in the woreda, and to identified local&lt;br&gt; and institutional adaptation /coping/strategies. Data were collected from 130 respondents through&lt;br&gt; House hold surveys, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. Analysis by&lt;br&gt; descriptive and inferential analysis. Using descriptive statistics, multiple regression models for&lt;br&gt; the purpose of socio-economic, extreme weather events (climate related hazards), and&lt;br&gt; institutional factors significantly influence the food security status of the respondents in the study&lt;br&gt; area.&lt;br&gt; The findings indicate respondents food security status in the study area were adversely impacted&lt;br&gt; by extreme weather events such as rain fall variability, temperature variability, snow, extreme&lt;br&gt; cold, pests and disease, water scarcity, lack of knowledge to predict climate and weather patterns&lt;br&gt; and extreme flooding . Factors such as family size, working personnel in the household, number&lt;br&gt; of dependency in the house hold, land ownership status, grazing land ownership, distance to all&lt;br&gt; weather road, were crucial in influencing the food security status and adaptation of climate&lt;br&gt; change impacts of the house hold in the study area. The study demonstrates that adaptation&lt;br&gt; practices, including crop rotation, organic and in organic fertilizers, focus on animal only,&lt;br&gt; diversifying crop and soil and water conservation, use of improved seed ,change the culture of&lt;br&gt; production were practiced.&lt;br&gt; The coup up mechanisms were remittance, productive safety net program, selling asset,&lt;br&gt; minimize size of meal, migration, borrow money from private and governmental institutions e.t.c&lt;br&gt; were practiced in the study area. This study concluded that Wadla woreda were a woreda&lt;br&gt; characterized by large number of land but land were cultivated by traditional agricultural&lt;br&gt; practice and highly influenced by climate change related hazards and the impacts become severe.&lt;br&gt; Subsistence crop and animal husbandry farming is not enough to feed the entire household&lt;br&gt; sufficiently throughout the year. Therefore, policies should promote initiatives that invest more&lt;br&gt; in rural off-farm activities to generate employment to enable households increase their income&lt;br&gt; and thus be able to improve their food security status and minimize climate change impacts. This&lt;br&gt; study recommends strict environmental literacy and adopt the climate smart agricultural practice&lt;br&gt; is the only option to combat climate change impacts on the food security status of the society.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
