Abstract

Climate change is one of the most crucial environmental problems all over the world. It may adversely affect the atmosphere and livelihood of people. The knowledge and awareness about climate change play a vital role in responding to climate change. The present study was carried out in Sawombung Block and Heingang Block from Imphal East District of Manipur with a sample size of 100, which were selected randomly. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge of farm women on causes and effects of climate change. The data were collected using a structured interview schedule and informal discussion. From the study it was found that majority of the respondents (71%) had medium knowledge, 21 per cent of the respondents had low level of knowledge followed by 16 per cent had high level of knowledge on the causes and effects of climate change. It was also found that from Block 2 (Heingang), education had a positive and significant (r=0.3641) relationship with the respondents knowledge on climate change. In order to improve the level of knowledge of the respondents on climate change, different trainings and awareness programmes can be conducted by concerned authority.
