Abstract

Climate change is a global apprehension impacting the lives of millions from all spheres of the world. Most hard-hit are the less-developed nations whose livelihood depend much on agriculture with low-level technology, poor information system, and weak grassroots institutions. This is now a significant point for Development Communication to facilitate positive engagement in the most vulnerable areas through systematic design and use of other communication platforms in sharing knowledge and information among stakeholders, especially in agro-ecological settings. By using secondary research method, this paper provides an overview of the theoretical approaches of Development Communication and Participatory Development Communication that are generally responsive to actual or expected effects of climate change. Further, it sought to analyze the approaches of Participatory Development Communication to determine a communication strategy for climate change adaptation in agricultural Southeast Asian nations. Finally, a participatory communication model was designed and recommended not as a panacea to this pressing natural and man-induced phenomenon, but as a safety net for sustainable rural- agricultural development.
