本研究はガーナの気候変動ホットスポットであるタレンシ地区における小規模農家の気候変動適応行動の選択要因を分析した。全農家が何らかの適応行動を採用しており、改良品種の植栽が最も一般的（89%）であった一方、家畜増加は最も少なかった（19%）。適応行動の採用は複雑な変数に影響され、政策立案者は状況に応じた対策を推進すべきである。

This study examines factors influencing smallholder farmers' choice of climate change adaptation actions in Ghana's Talensi district. All farmers adopted at least one action, with improved crop cultivars most common (89%) and increased livestock least (19%). Adoption is influenced by complex interacting variables, highlighting the need for context-specific policies that consider farmer perceptions, livelihoods, and institutional factors.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study investigates factors influencing smallholder farmers’ choice of climate change actions in one of Ghana’s climate change hotspots – the Talensi district. A stepwise logistic regression model and thematic and narrative analyses were employed to examine the impacts of climate perception, livelihood capitals, and institutional intervention on smallholder farmers’ adoption of six common climate change actions. All smallholder farmers reported adopting one or more actions to reduce their vulnerability. Planting improved crop cultivars was most commonly adopted (89% of farmers), and raising more livestock was least common (19%), with complementarities observed among the climate change actions. The adoption of some climate change actions was influenced by a large number of complex interacting variables (e.g. planting improved crop cultivars), and others were less so (e.g. raising additional livestock). Given the unique contexts of farming communities, agricultural policymakers, development practitioners, and decision-makers at different institutional levels must intensify their efforts to promote context-specific and targeted climate change actions which consider the vital role of farmers’ perceptions, livelihoods, and institutional factors in their adaptation decisions. Consideration should also be given to complementarity among climate change actions and attributes of individual actions to develop appropriate packages of actions to minimize climate risks.
