Paper long abstract:
In this paper I use preliminary research, working with herding households in Mongolia, to show the importance of considering all the drivers of change that effect local subsistence and mobility, including globalization, youth out-migration, and climate change. I draw on my longer-term research in NE Siberia to illustrate both the similar drivers rural households are challenged by, or the complexity of change, and also the diversity of cultural perceptions and responses. Herein I argue the importance of anthropological insights to move forward understandings of climate change and specifically to contribute to effective interdisciplinary efforts.
