Original research CLIMATE CHANGE'S EFFECTS ON NORTH EAST INDIA'S CULTURE, ECONOMY, AND LIFESTYLE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BODO AND MISHING COMMUITYPages 35-42
Abstract
This study examines the complex effects of climate change on the traditions, means of subsistence, and way of life of communities in North East India. This study uses a qualitative data analysisthrough ethnographic fieldwork and semi-structured interviews. The distinctive cultural richness of the area is becoming more and more fragile as a result of changing climate patterns, as seen by altered agricultural practices, disrupted festivals, and altered traditional knowledge systems. The livelihoods of indigenous groups have also been severely impacted by climate-related problems, such as unpredictable rainfall and extreme weather, which have reduced agricultural production and accelerated rural-to-urban migration patterns. Adaptive strategies and policies that are socially inclusive, culturally sensitive, and environmentally sustainable must be developed immediately in order to protect the rich heritage and well-being of communities in North East India in the face of ongoing climate change. These changes in culture, livelihood, and lifestyle not only pose significant challenges but also highlight how urgent it is to do so.
