Backing rural response to climate change has ethical starting points, needs policies derived and proposed by scientists and science managers from the politics of change. But it also needs scientific support systems. In managing these politics of change, institutionalization is crucial. This must be done through extension that may belong to the organizations that deliver the scientific support (NMHSs, Research Institutes, Universities) and/or through an extension service established for that purpose or given the mandate to do so. Governments must develop educational commitments to rural areas. The farmers as end users of services need to be trained by extension staff in the establishment of agrometeorological and other related services. And the extension officers as intermediaries need training themselves, among others in better communication with farmers on their needs, in the role of farmer innovations and in the consequences of climate change for the livelihood of farmers.
