Abstrakt:	Climate change is among the most serious impediments to agricultural prosperity in rural areas, particularly livestock. Three pastoral systems: pastoral, semi‐pastoral and agro‐pastoral were identified from a field survey in the Ain Es Snoussi area in northwestern Tunisia. Their vulnerability to climate change was different and depended on their socio‐economic resources. The survey results allowed us to community's adaptation response strategies to involve adjustments in pastoral and no‐pastoral practises. However, the current state of the farms remains fragile despite the various adaptation measures adopted in response to climate change. The most vulnerable are landless and poor pastoralists.
