The Environment and Anthropology Committee focuses on environmental issues as perceived from a diverse range of anthropological perspectives, including various theoretical viewpoints, and practical applications and engagements. It supports the role of anthropology in relation to the environment wherever it may be appropriate -– both within academic institutions and beyond in the wider community.
It encourages and supports research and engagement with relevant issues at the RAI and amongst its Fellows, seeks to raise awareness of anthropology’s contributions to environmental issues with the general public, and liaises and collaborates with other institutions, disciplines, bodies and interest groups in advancing relevant enquiries and understanding while retaining a critical independence.
