摘要:Climate change is reported all around as one of the m ajor concerning issues due to its adverse im pacts on many aspects of life including agriculture. In Jordan such im portant issue is not researched extensively yet.

Meanwhile, no statistical significant differences were observed at level of (0.05) in the attitudes of undergraduate students towards climate change negative impacts on agriculture attributed to gender, m ajor and academic year.
