Abstract: The global climate change due to increased anthropogenic and natural factors is becoming a serious threat to life on the earth, particularly in Africa. Local communities have been developing and using their own adaptation strategies to overcome the effects of climate change and to sustain their well-being. However, little emphasis has been given on the effects of climate change and adaptation strategies of pastoralist communities. Hence, this study was initiated to investigate the effects of climate change and adaptation strategies of pastoral communities in Sabba Boru district, southern Ethiopia. Five kebeles were selected using systematic sampling technique based on agro-climatic zones (three from arid and two from semi-arid). A total of 136 households were selected from the five kebeles using simple random sampling method. In this study both quantitative and qualitative data were collected.
