This study empirically estimates farmers' willingness to pay (WTP) for a planned adaptation programme for addressing climate issues in Pakistan's agricultural sectors. The contingent valuation method (CVM) was employed to determine a monetary valuation of farmers' preferences for a planned adaptation programme by ascertaining the value attached to address climatic issues. The survey was conducted by distributing structured questionnaires among Pakistani farmers. The study found that 67 % of respondents were willing to pay for a planned adaptation programme. However, several socioeconomic and motivational factors exert greater influence on their willingness to pay (WTP). This paper specifies the steps needed for all institutional bodies to better address issues in climate change. The outcomes of this paper will support attempts by policy makers to design an efficient adaptation framework for mitigating and adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change.
本研究通过实证估计了农民对计划中的适应方案的支付意愿（WTP），以应对巴基斯坦农业部门的气候问题。本研究采用条件价值评估法（CVM）来确定农民对计划中的适应方案的偏好的货币价值，从而确定解决气候问题的附加价值。该调查通过向巴基斯坦农民分发结构化问卷进行。研究发现，67%的受访者愿意为计划中的适应方案付费。然而，一些社会经济和动机因素对他们的支付意愿（WTP）有更大的影响。本文明确了所有机构都需要采取的步骤，以更好地应对气候变化问题。本文的研究结果将支持政策制定者为设计一个有效的适应框架以减轻和适应气候变化的不利影响而做出的努力。
