Abstract :
This paper presents a succinct outline of a
study on the future of climate adaptation extension
education, with an emphasis on emerging trends and
opportunities. The research looks into new techniques,
strategies, and technology that extension educators can
use to improve climate adaptation practices and build
resilient communities. The study outlines five significant
trends that will shape the future of climate adaptation
extension education. These include the relevance of
integrating technology for information transmission and
monitoring, the value of participatory techniques
engaging local stakeholders, the importance of
interdisciplinary collaboration, and the importance of
adaptive management and learning. The use of
technology, such as remote sensing and mobile
applications, opens up new options for knowledge
transmission and behavior change in the direction of
climate resilience. Participatory approaches that include
farmers and disadvantaged communities enable context-
specific solutions and encourage collective action.
Interdisciplinary collaboration allows for holistic and
culturally appropriate solutions, while adaptive
management and learning strengthen communities'
adaptive potential. The study's findings provide
important insights into the future of extension education
in climate adaptation. Extension educators may play a
critical role in promoting climate resilience and
empowering communities to successfully respond to the
challenges of climate change by embracing innovative
ideas and techniques. The identified patterns and
opportunities give recommendations for the future
development of effective climate adaption programmes.
