\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
The Niger Delta region is strategic to Nigeria's quest for economic prosperity, environmental sustainability and food security. In fact, the region, with about \mbox{20\,\%} of the nation's population contributes more than \mbox{80\,\%} of Nigeria's revenue, accounts for about \mbox{95\,\%} of the nation's foreign exchange earnings and is hub for most food crops. The Niger Delta region is very core to understanding gender"=based climate change issues in cassava production in Nigeria. This is because, the region is a major producer of the crop and both male and female are largely involved in the production processes, particularly on the farm field cultivation of the crop. Among others, food crop production is mostly affected by vagaries in climatic factors. Cassava is an essentially common food security crop due to its low cost of production. This study, therefore was conducted to analyse gender"=based cassava farmers' climate change adaptation in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select three hundred and sixty (360) cassava farmers. This comprised one hundred and eighty (180) male cassava farmers and one hundred and eighty (180) female cassava farmers across three (3) states of Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and Ondo out of the nine (9) states that make up the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The study employed descriptive statistics, Heckman double stage selection model, budgeting analysis and Multinomial logit regression model for data analysis. Specifically, the study examined gender"=based socioeconomic characteristics of cassava farmers; gender"=based climate change awareness of cassava farmers; gender"=based cassava farmers' adaptation strategies; determined gender"=based cassava farmers' costs of adaptation strategies and examined the factors influencing gender"=based cassava farmers' choice of adaptation strategies in study area. }
