Perceptions of Climate Change from North India: An Ethnographic Account delves into the local perspectives on climate change by conducting ethnographic encounters with the individuals residing in the frontline regions of climate change in the lower Himalayas.
Drawing from a year-long data collection in a small village situated in an eco-sensitive zone in North India, this book offers an ethnographic account of the local responses to climate change, resource management, and indigenous environmental knowledge. Through the insightful observations of Aase Kvanneids, the book sheds light on the precarious reality of climate change in this region, highlighting issues such as access to water, NGO interventions, and climate information for farmers.
In addition to addressing these contemporary concerns, Kvanneids' work explores classic topics in the study of rural India, including ritual, gender, social hierarchy, and political economy. By examining how those who are most vulnerable to climate change perceive its causes and effects, the book provides valuable insights into the local and global efforts to address and mitigate the impact of climate change.
This book holds immense interest for students and scholars engaged in the anthropology of climate change, environmental sociology, and rural development. It offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the diverse experiences and perspectives of individuals living in climate-affected regions, contributing to our collective understanding of this critical global issue.
