In this paper, a systematic literature review was conducted to synthesize understanding on farmers’ perception on climate change. Farmers’ perception of climate change is conceptualized as comprising of three dimensions—first, as farmers’ “awareness”; second, “conceptual understanding”; and third, the “experience” of climate change. The review included 162 papers published during the period January 2000 to July 2019. The highest number of studies was conducted in Africa, followed by Asia. A large majority of farmers report being aware of climate change. However, only a few studies elicit the difference between climate variability and climate change from farmers. A negligible number of studies attempt to identify the role of agricultural activities in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Furthermore, authors compare farmers’ perception with meteorological evidence, which is more aligned in terms of change in “temperature” rather than “precipitation.” The insights from the review provide guidance on conceptualization and operationalization of the variable “farmers’ perception of climate change” for future studies.

农民如何看待气候变化？系统评价

在本文中，进行了系统的文献综述，以综合理解农民对气候变化的看法。农民对气候变化的感知被概念化为包括三个维度——第一，农民的“意识”；第二，“概念理解”；第三，气候变化的“体验”。该综述包括 2000 年 1 月至 2019 年 7 月期间发表的 162 篇论文。研究数量最多的是非洲，其次是亚洲。大多数农民报告说意识到气候变化。然而，只有少数研究从农民那里得出气候变异和气候变化之间的差异。很少有研究试图确定农业活动在温室气体排放和气候变化中的作用。此外，作者将农民的看法与气象证据进行了比较，气象证据更符合“温度”而不是“降水”的变化。审查的见解为未来研究中变量“农民对气候变化的看法”的概念化和操作化提供了指导。
