Variations in climate, one would expect to be perceived differently among people of different socioeconomic background and social strata. However, with the people of Akinyele LGA in Oyo state, the case is different where perception of the causes, evidences and response patterns to the impacts of climate change do not show any variation that can be linked with socio-economic attributes across the political wards. A total of eight out of twelve political wards/health districts were purposively selected (being most rural with rapid transformation) where about 300 questionnaires were administered with a random systematic approach. Data collected were analysed using simple descriptive analytical tool. The hypotheseswere tested with Chisquare. The study reveals that causes and evidences of climate change are not significantly different across political wards except for fluctuations in food production and supplies, over-cropping, overgrazing, settlement expansion and excessive dryness with p-value of 0.012, 0.048, 0.049, 0.019 and 0.018 respectively. There is therefore urgent need for implementation of tree planting and landscape planning initiatives, farm practice improvement and re-introduction of neighbourhood parks and gardens so as to forestall the growing vulnerability of residents to climate change impacts and to enhance social integration, a vital ingredient to building community’s resilience.
