Changing the Atmosphere

Acknowledgements The work of the Global Climate Change Task Force (GCCTF), including the development of the final report, was made possible through support by the School for Advanced Research (Santa Fe, New Mexico), the Atlantic Philanthropies (New York City), and the American Anthropological Association. The task force is extremely grateful for this assistance (detailed acknowledgements appear in Appendix 2). Additionally, the Global Climate Change Task Force expresses its greatest appreciation for the expert reviewers of the Report's final draft. Reviewers were solicited from within anthropology and from other disciplines. Their thorough and thoughtful comments provided perspectives and insights that improved the report tremendously. They are llisted here in alphabetical order: Executive Summary " Changing the Atmosphere: Anthropology and Climate Change " is the final report of the American Anthropological Association's (AAA) Global Climate Change Task Force. The report's objectives are: to provide a guiding document on anthropology and climate change in its broadest sense, including anthropology's contributions to, and concerns about, climate change and climate change policy and discourse; to provide commentary on interdisciplinary research and relationships; and to identify research frontiers for anthropology with respect to climate change. The audiences for the report are the AAA Executive Board and the anthropological discipline; interdisciplinary colleagues, organizations, and institutions; and ultimately and ideally, policymakers, the media, and the general public. This Executive Summary provides readers with a short description of the highlights and sections of the Report, including the Conclusions and Recommendations (both more fully developed over the course of the report and specifically in Sections 7.0 and 8.0, respectively). The report has the following foci in its approach: (a) human causes and contributions to climate change and the problematizing of human drivers; (b) the identification of lessons learned about human adaptation, survival and change over long time periods; (c) the critique of central concepts used in climate policy on global, state and local levels (adaptation, vulnerability and resilience); (d) the importance of the local and community engagement; and (e) interdisciplinary strengths and opportunities, and research priorities for the future for anthropology and global environmental change. Following are the sections of the report. Statement on Humanity and Climate Change The Statement on Humanity and Climate Change presents a number of primary points on climate change and humanity that are based on anthropological research, analysis and expertise. The objectives of the Statement are to raise awareness of anthropological knowledge and concerns about …
