Abstract

The current research aimed to identify the factors affecting the role of agricultural extension in developing rural leaders' information on climate changes in the Egyptian countryside. The comprehensive study reached 599 agricultural extension workers in the governorates of Gharbia, Minya, and Kafr El-Sheikh. The size of the study sample was determined using the Krejsi and Morgan equation, as the sample size reached 234 respondents. Data was collected using the personal interview questionnaire form. The data was presented and analyzed using both frequencies and ratios. Percentile, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and chi-square test. The most important results are summarized as follows: With regard to the respondents' development of rural leaders' information on climate change, it became clear that about 60.7% of the total study sample fall into the high category, while about 29.9% of the total sample fall into the medium category, while the low category represents about 9.4% of the total study sample. That there is a significant relationship between the role of the respondents in developing rural leaders' information about climate change as a dependent variable and each of the following independent variables: the age of the respondent, the number of training courses in the field of extension, the degree of job satisfaction, the degree of exposure to information sources related to climate change, and the extension methods used in Awareness of climate change, at the probability level 0.01. As for the academic qualification, access to training courses in the field of climate change, the status of the guide in the village, the status of the profession of extension, and the area supervised by the respondent, it was proven that there was a significant relationship between them and the dependent variable at the probabilistic level of 0.05. This means rejecting the null hypotheses (1, 4, 8, 9, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23) and accepting their alternative hypotheses. Keywords:  Rural leaders & Climate changes & The role of agricultural extension.
