| contents | <p>Climate change is increasingly impacting human security in regions across Africa, including Ethiopia's Sahel region. This area faces significant environmental challenges exacerbated by climate variability and extreme weather events. The research employs both qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys among households and local authorities to assess perceptions and data related to climate impact, vulnerability, and adaptive strategies. Findings indicate that over half of respondents experienced a decline in agricultural productivity due to erratic rainfall patterns. Community resilience was notably bolstered by the development of early warning systems for extreme weather events. The study underscores the urgent need for integrated climate-resilience measures, including improved early warning systems and community-based adaptation initiatives. Policy recommendations include enhancing funding for climate research in Ethiopia's Sahel region and promoting international cooperation to support local mitigation efforts.
