Abstract

This article focuses on how climate is studied in anthropology, from the study of how cultures assign meaning and value to climate and adapt to local weather, flooding and precipitation. Anthropology also focuses on contemporary climate change, its construction by science, its impact on communities, and the role it can play as a discipline in the development of climate-related policies.
