Description: Global repercussions of climate change have continued to manifest throughout the world. There is information on seasons of drought existence, periods of flooding and higher temperatures characterised by wide occurrence and severity (Nicholls et al. 2012; Seneviratne et al. 2021). Global warming is caused by climate change, which affects both the structure of natural systems and human societies. Climate change causes changes in the regimes of various regions, creating more disasters such as droughts, high temperatures and floods, which are becoming increasingly frequent (Mukheibir and Ziervogel 2007, IPCC 2021). These events cause extreme hardship and even death, especially for the most affected groups (IPCC 2014). Low-income rural people face the effects of climate change most severely.
