Anthropology, as the study of humans in their cultural, social, and biological dimensions, provides a unique lens to understand the complex issues of environment and climate change. Unlike disciplines that focus purely on natural sciences or policy frameworks, anthropology emphasizes the interplay between human behavior, cultural practices, and ecological systems. It seeks to uncover how societies perceive, interact with, and adapt to their environments over time, offering insights into the causes and consequences of climate change from a human-centered perspective. One of the central contributions of anthropology to environmental studies is the recognition that human-environment relationships are deeply embedded in cultural practices, economic systems, and social structures. For instance, traditional ecological knowledge among indigenous communities demonstrates sustainable ways of managing natural resources that have evolved over centuries. Anthropologists have documented how these communities observe seasonal patterns, conserve biodiversity, and maintain soil fertility through rituals, taboos, and adaptive practices. Such knowledge challenges conventional, technocratic approaches to climate change, emphasizing that sustainable solutions must integrate local cultural contexts and social norms rather than imposing universal models. Environmental anthropology, a subfield specifically focused on human-environment interactions, highlights that climate change is not merely a scientific phenomenon but also a social one. The ways in which societies contribute to environmental degradation, respond to ecological crises, and experience climate-related vulnerabilities are mediated by economic inequalities, political power, and cultural values. For example, anthropologists have studied how marginalized communities in coastal regions face disproportionate risks from rising sea levels, hurricanes, and flooding due to historical patterns of economic marginalization and land dispossession. These studies reveal that climate change is not only an environmental issue but also a problem of social justice. By documenting lived experiences and local narratives, anthropologists provide a human face to abstract climate models, emphasizing
