The goal of this study is to determine the degree of climate change awareness among rural farmers in Northern Cross River State, analyse how gender roles play out in some of these farmers' daily tasks, determine the workload burden of climate change impacts that differs between men and women, and determine the strategies these farmers have used to mitigate the effects of climate change in their agricultural activities. The study's findings showed that farmers in rural areas are somewhat aware of climate change. These farmers learned about it from radio, newspapers, awareness campaigns, posters, and billboards, among other sources. The rural farmers used six of the nine recommended techniques to lessen the consequences of climate change on themselves. The gender workload burden between men and women in the area differs significantly; the outcome is positively skewed toward women, suggesting that the workload for women increased relative to that of men. The outcome further demonstrates that EE can affect people's attitudes toward climate change by raising awareness, disseminating information, and encouraging members to engage in climate change effect mitigation, prevention, and adaptation.
