パキスタン・パンジャブ州ナロワル県の稲作・小麦農家の気候脆弱性をCVIで評価。テシル別に0.26と0.91と大きな差があり、極端な気温や洪水が収量と食料安全保障を脅かす。適応策は限定的で、女性の技術導入障壁など社会文化的要因が適応を妨げる。政策への気候レジリエンス統合の緊急性を強調。
English
This study assesses climate vulnerability of rice-wheat farmers in Narowal, Punjab using a climate vulnerability index (CVI). Findings show significant differences between tehsils (0.26 vs 0.91), with extreme temperatures, erratic rainfall, and floods disrupting crop cycles and food security. Adaptation is moderate, but sociocultural barriers, especially for women, hinder technology adoption. Urgent need to integrate climate resilience into agricultural policies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では農業分野の気候リスク評価や適応策の地域実装が進む中、本稿のCVI手法は自治体や農業団体の脆弱性評価に参考となる。ただし、パキスタン特有の社会経済文脈が強いため、直接適用には調整が必要。
In the global GX context
This localized vulnerability assessment adds to global scholarship on climate risk in agriculture, offering a replicable CVI methodology for developing regions. It highlights the importance of socio-economic factors and gender barriers in adaptation, relevant for international development and climate resilience frameworks.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate change is directly affecting the agriculture sector, and the underlying vulnerability of farmers is often overlooked. Despite agriculture's vital role in economy of Pakistan, localized assessments of farmers' climate vulnerability and adaptation remain limited. This study assesses the vulnerability of rice–wheat farmers in District Narowal, Punjab, to multi-hazard climatic variability using a climate vulnerability index (CVI). Data was collected from 300 households through door-to-door surveys and focus group discussions across two Tehsils of District Narowal. Overall, IPCC-CVI was accounted as 0.26 and 0.91 for Tehsil Narowal and Tehsil Shakargarh respectively. These findings reveal that extreme temperatures, erratic rainfall, and recurrent floods significantly disrupt crop cycles, reduce yields, and exacerbate food insecurity. Biological hazards, including pest outbreaks and resilient weeds, further compound risks, while limited financial, human, and physical capital restrict adaptive capacity. Socio-economic factors such as age, education, land size, and ownership rights emerged as key determinants of vulnerability, making Tehsil Narowal slightly more vulnerable than Tehsil Shakargarh. Farmers exhibit moderate adaptation through crop diversification and altered sowing dates; however, sociocultural barriers, particularly for women, hinder technology adoption. The study underscores the urgent need to mainstream climate resilience into agricultural development projects and provincial policies to safeguard rural livelihoods and stabilize Pakistan's agricultural economy.
