This paper discusses the individual differences in adaptation towards climate change among Sabahan highland farmers. This study is quantitative in nature in the form of a cross-sectional survey. Via a simple random sampling, a total of 200 highland farmers in Kundasang and Moyog were selected as respondents. The analysis performed has concluded that the differences in education achievement have a significant influence on Sabahan highland farmers’ adaptation towards climate change, while factors such as age, income and the number of household members have a significant relationship with their adaptation towards climate change. A number of recommendations were highlighted and it is a hope that it can assist related parties in constructing a better community’s adaptation plan.
