THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF
CLIMATE CHANGE

In addressing the urgent questions raised by climate change, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of the anthropology of climate change, guided by a critical
political ecological framework. It examines the emergence and slow maturation of
the anthropology of climate change, reviews the historic foundations for this work
in the archaeology of climate change, and presents three alternative contemporary
theoretical perspectives in the anthropology of climate change.
This second edition is fully updated to include the most recent literature
published since the first edition in 2014. It also examines a number of new topics,
including an analysis of the 2014 American Anthropological Association’s Global
Climate Change Task Force report, a new case study on responses to climate change
in developed societies, and reference to the stance of the Trump administration on
climate change.
Not only does this book provide a valuable overview of the field and the key
literature, but it also gives researchers and students in Environmental Anthropology,
Climate Change, Human Geography, Sociology, and Political Science a novel
framework for understanding climate change that emphasizes human socioecological
interactions.

Hans A. Baer is Principal Honorary Research Fellow, School of Social and


Political Sciences, University of Melbourne, Australia.

Merrill Singer is Professor at the Departments of Anthropology and Community

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Our scholarly interest in climate change or global warming began in the hot summer
of 2005 while we were working on the first edition of Introducing Medical Anthropology
(AltaMira Press, 2007). In Chapter 7, “Health and the Environment,” of our text-
book we included a section on “The Impact of Global Warming on Health.”
Indirectly, this small effort led to a book titled Global Warming and the Political Ecology
of Health (Left Coast Press, 2009). Upon arriving at the University of Melbourne in
January 2006, Hans Baer quickly touched base with fellow academics as well
as students who share an interest in climate change. They include Peter Christoff,
Liam Cooper, Peter Dwyer, Jim Falk, James Goodman, Jonathan Marshall, Monica
Minnegal, Thomas Reuter, and Ariel Salleh. Hans joined forces with Verity
Burgmann, a political scientist at the University of Melbourne, in the writing of
Climate Politics and the Climate Movement in Australia (Melbourne University Press,
2012). He also collaborated with anthropologists interested in climate change at
various other universities and institutions. These include Marcus Barber, Megan
Jennaway, and Kay Milton (University of Auckland). Hans records his apprecia-
tion to the University of Melbourne for granting him a six-month study leave in
2009 to conduct research on Australian climate politics and the climate movement.
Merrill Singer would like to acknowledge support from a University of
Connecticut Provost’s General Education Course Development Grant that led to
the development of the course Global Climate Change and Human Societies and
helped advance his understanding of climate change from an anthropological
perspective. Merrill would also like to acknowledge colleagues at the University of
Connecticut with whom he has had many climate change discussions, including
Michael Willig and Peter Gunther.
