要了解气候变化带来的挑战并制定适当的适应和减缓机制，就需要广泛的自然科学和社会科学提供投入。人类学深入的实地考察方法，长期参与社会与环境相互作用的问题以及对社会的广泛，全面的看法，为气候变化的科学，影响和政策提供了宝贵的见解。然而，直到现在，这门学科在气候变化辩论中的声音仍然相对边缘化。在这里，我们确定了人类学研究可以丰富和深化当代对气候变化的理解的三个关键途径。
Understanding the challenge that climate change poses and crafting appropriate adaptation and mitigation mechanisms requires input from the breadth of the natural and social sciences. Anthropology's in-depth fieldwork methodology, long engagement in questions of society-environment interactions and broad, holistic view of society yields valuable insights into the science, impacts and policy of climate change. Yet the discipline's voice in climate change debates has remained a relatively marginal one until now. Here, we identify three key ways that anthropological research can enrich and deepen contemporary understandings of climate change.
