The research aimed to determine the degree of respondents knowledge about the manifestations of climate change on agriculture, the degree of awareness of its risks to food security, agricultural productivity, spatial stability of the population, the degree of their awareness of the mechanisms of mitigation and adaptation to climate changes, and the relationship of the characteristics of the respondents to the degree of their awareness of climate risks and mechanisms to reduce them.
The research was conducted on a sample of 150 respondents who were settled in the villages of Al-Bustan zone in Buhaira Governorate, one of the new reclamation areas, which are usually more vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change. Data were collected during March and April of 2022 through a personal interview with the respondents using a questionnaire form, and after Data collection was extracted and analyzed using numerical tally tables, percentages, weighted average, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient and chi-square.
The most important results were as follows:
- A third of the respondents (33.3%) have a medium level of knowledge about the manifestations of climatic changes in agriculture.
- More than half of the respondents, 53.3%, have an average level of awareness of the dangers of climate change on both food security and the spatial stability of the population.
- More than two-fifths of the respondents, 44%, have a high level of awareness of the risks to agricultural productivity
About half of the respondents, 50% and 52%, have an average level of awareness of both mitigation mechanisms and adaptation mechanisms with climate change, respectively.
- There is a direct correlation between each of the degree of cultural openness, total agricultural area, total animal possession, total mechanized possession, membership in organizations, and the degree of knowledge of the respondents about climate risks in general.
- The existence of a correlation between the variables of the degree of cultural openness, the total animal area, the total agricultural area, and the degree of awareness of the respondents with the mechanisms of limiting climate changes in general.
- There is  a significant relationship between the variables of educational status and family type of the respondents and their level of awareness of the mechanisms of limiting climate changes in general.
