Climate anthropology is an emerging discipline formed in the context of global climate change.Its disciplinary origins can be traced back to early studies on climate and human society such as climate determinism and ethnoclimatology,which attempted to discern the characteristics of human society in relation to climate.The anthropological study of"anthropogenic climate change"provides the basis for contemporary climate anthropology,rooted in reflections on the environmental problems brought about by industrial civilization,formed out of concern for the phenomenon of global climate change.The research direction presents two development trends:climate ethnography and local knowledge.The relatively influential theoretical paradigms in climate anthropology include cultural e-cology,cultural hermeneutics,and critical anthropology,and a comprehensive research method com-bining a multi-scale ethnography,a multi-dimensional holistic view,a cross-cultural comparison and an interdisciplinary perspective has been formed.Climate anthropology expands and promotes the de-velopment of anthropology,especially ecological anthropology.The different values and knowledge systems that this discipline emphasizes can help humanity understand and respond to the global cli-mate crisis in a more just and effective way.The disciplinary development of climate anthropology in China not only keeps pace with the international community,but also pays attention to the historical,cultural,philosophical and ecological wisdom related to climate,benefiting from Xi Jinping's view of ecological civilization and green development in contemporary China.
