Abstract: This research aimed to identify the factors that influence farming households’ decisions on adaptation strategies and the highest priority strategy in South-Western coastal Bangladesh. Seven unions in Koyra Upazila were surveyed, and 60 households were interviewed from each union. The binary logit and multinomial logit models were used to analyse the data. The findings indicate that 58.6% of farming households adopted climate-related adaptation strategies, with seasonal migration being the most top priority. Similarly, the data suggested that years of education of the household heads, number of household members, land tenure, farming experience, climatic event risk perception, and farmer-to-farmer extension influenced both farming households’ adaptation decisions and the likelihood of choosing the highest priority adaptation strategies. Public–private partnerships (PPPs) can integrate funds, knowledge, and power structures. It can also balance expenses, liabilities, and opportunities. So, the development of PPPs may promote suitable adaptation strategies.
