The current research aims to determine farmers’ knowledge and implementation needs in the field of adaptation to climate changes in some villages of Assiut Governorate, and to arrange the practices of adaptation to climate changes according to the knowledge and implementation needs of the respondents. The Borich model, modified Delta N equation, and the new approach were used to assess the extension needs of the respondents. The research was conducted on a random sample of 285 respondents randomly selected from two villages in Assiut Governorate. Data were collected using questionnaire forms during August 2022. Frequencies, percentages, and arithmetic mean were used for results presentation. The results showed that the overall average of the respondents' knowledge and implementation needs about the studied practices was average. It came out that four recommendations fall within the high knowledge and implementation needs for the respondents, while their knowledge and implementation needs was medium for the rest of the studied practices (14 practices). The results also presented an arrangement of the studied practices according to the knowledge and implementation needs of the respondents.
