Résumé : | To minimize the negative impacts of climate change, adaptation is key. There are, however, a range of factors that, unless recognized and dealt with effectively, can prevent or disrupt adaptation efforts by farmers. Barriers to climate change adaptation in Iran, and their characteristics, are under-researched. They need to be identified and investigated both to inform policymaking and to provide assistance to farmers. This study uses a qualitative approach to identify and explore such barriers in the Susa county, a historic region of Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran. The data required for this research were obtained from a series of focus group discussions (n = 50) and semi-structured interviews with key informants (n = 50). Our results explored and categorized numerous responses to barriers to adaptation, such as social and cultural, economic, technological, informational, and market-based. It is important to note that, in reality, the margins between classifications are much subtler than many of the typologies indicate. Based on the study's findings, appropriate policy responses are recommended. |
