The main objective of this study was to assess th e adaptive capacity of fmmers to climate change 1nrnterms of access and possession of key livelihood assets in three traditional agro - ecology (Dega,rnWeinadega , an d kola) of the study area . A total of 133 households were selec ted nvm three kebelesMezerazirrn(kola). Wogit (WeJfladega) and Giraramba kebeles (Dega) by using random samphngrntechniques for th e study Descriptive statistics and Chi square test were used to analysis fmmers'rnperceptions, adaptive capacity and adaptation strategies. In addition the adaptive capacity indices wererncaJculated by using L VI approach in tenns of access and possession of key livelihood assets. The datarncoJIected from FGD, KI and secondary source of data were analyzed by triangulating wJth householdrnsurvey 711e result shows S5% of the fanners in the study area perceive increas1ng in temperature andrnthere is no difference between fm m ers' perception and the recorded temperature data. However 9 ] % ofrnthe respondent perceive decreasing precipitation trend which is in line with the 'Kremt' seasonrnrecorded data. According to the chi square result there is a perception difference 1n age, education andrnsex of household h eads. Th e adaptive capacity of Mezerazir kebele which represent kola agro-ecology isrnlow (0. 29S). While that of Wogit kebele (0.42) and Giraramba kebeles (0. 3S]) which representrnWein adega and Dega agro-ecology respectively are moderate.
