To avoid the hazardous impact of climate change in agriculture sector particularly small farm holder, the adaptation to climate change requires time. The degree of adaptive responses has been slow among the famers since they have low adaptive capacities in developing countries like Pakistan owing to their ignorance. Thus, the purpose of study is to determine the awareness degree of the farmers, to examine the factors that impact the adaptive to climate change. Moreover, the type of the study is cross-sectional and 280 farmers data is gathered with the assistance of well-developed questionnaire on the basis of former researches. Multistage method is applied in collecting data in district Vehari. To carry out the data analysis, binary logit model and odd ration model is used in finding out the factors contributing to the adaptive capacity of climate change. In the foundation of the analysis of data presented in this paper, it is stated that climate adaptation to the climate change is talkative with the growth of information resources: technology can make agriculture too efficient and the climate change awareness. The facts presented in the current study are borne out by facts that indicate the need to award credits and finance long term, agricultural technologies that will hasten the ACC and in the short-term information on climate should be disseminated among the agricultural circles.
