Anonymized Survey Dataset and Codes for Carbon Finance and Smallholder Climate Adaptation in Uganda

This repository contains the anonymized survey dataset and analytical code used in the study:   "Carbon finance as climate adaptation depends on smallholder livelihood contexts in Uganda"   The dataset was collected to examine smallholder farmers’ preferences, perceptions, and decision-making processes related to participation in agroforestry-based carbon finance projects. It includes household characteristics, agricultural practices, climate change perceptions, social and institutional factors, and willingness to participate in carbon projects.   The dataset supports the analyses presented in the manuscript, including regression analyses of factors influencing farmers’ willingness to participate in climate finance and related agroforestry activities. Source data underlying the main figures are included in the repository or can be generated using the provided analysis scripts.   Files 1. Anonymized survey dataset (`Uganda_carbon_finance_anonymized_dataset.xlsx`) Cleaned survey data used for statistical analyses. Direct identifiers and potentially identifying geographic information have been removed to protect participant confidentiality.   2. Codebook (`Uganda_carbon_finance_anonymized_dataset.xlsx`) Description of variables, coding schemes, and response categories.   3. Analysis scripts - R_Analysis_1__DBDC.R: Double-bounded contingent valuation analysis - R_Analysis_2_Response Curves.R: Response curve analysis - Stata_analysis_do.file.do: Regression analysis - Additional R scripts: data preparation and testing procedures   Ethical Considerations The dataset has been de-identified prior to public release. No direct identifiers are included. Geographic identifiers and detailed information that may increase re-identification risk have been removed or transformed.   The repository contains the minimum data and code necessary to reproduce the analyses and figures presented in the manuscript.
