Rural poor in developing countries including Ethiopia are the most vulnerable community tornclimate change impacts because they depend mainly on climate sensitive economy. /-fence thisrnresearch allempted to assess the local vulnerability to climate change and farmers' adaptationrnstrategies in five dominant agro ecologies of Choke Mountain watershed of Eastern Gojjamrnzune. The study attempted to examine farmers' perception towards climate change, theirrnvulnerability (exposure, adaptive capacity and sensitivity) status and the adaptation strategiesrnundertaken to cope with and reduce the impact of climate change and related hazards. Tornachieve the objects set, necessary data were collected ./i"om sample kebeles through differentrntechniques. Due to time and budget constraint, the researcher selected only 10% of total kebele 'srnhousehold. Thus, the total sample respondents of the study area were, 100 in number. The studyrnused integrated assessment approach capturing diverse drivers (biophysical and socioeconomic)rnof outcomes to assess vulnerabilil)l of the study to climate change. Descriptivernstatistics was used to investigate farmers' perception and the adaptation strategies undertakingrnin the study area. Whereas, LVJ-JPCC index was used to examine the vulnerability status. Thernresult confirmed that the majority of sample households perceived climate change and as thernimpact of climate change was CJffecting their livelihood in many different directions. Even thoughrnfarmers who perceive climate change, have been undertaking various adaptation strategies, suchrnas irrigatiun, livelihood diversification, planting trees, soil and water conservation, the resultrnshows as it was not satisfactolY and insufficient, and need.s' to be enhanced. The LVI-I PCC, indexrnshowed as the relatively most vulnerable ecosystems were, the hilly and mountainous areaA ES5rn(DI kelemo) and the lowland area AESI (Kurar) whereas, the midland plainly kebeles (Yemezegnrnand MI berhan) relatively less vulnerable area, and the slopping land (Enerata) as moderatelyrnvulnerable to climate change, Generally, ./i"oll1the result of the study it can be concluded that thernarea is exposed to climate change and extremes due to loll' adaptive capacity of the area, thusrnhigh emphasis should be taken either by government or by the communities 10 reduce the impact,, rnKey words: climate chaenge, vulnerability, exposure, adaptive capacity and selectivity
