Abstract

Climate change is defined as changes in the average state of the climate occurring at certain periods. From this perspective, climate changes are natural events that have continued from the formation of the world to the present day. However, today, the risk that climate change poses to humanity and the protection of biodiversity is associated with extreme climate events resulting from human activities. Considering nomadic societies, indigenous peoples provide information about their lifestyles in harmony with nature, which come from their past and traditions, and their exemplary life habits in adapting to climate change. The aim of this study is to investigate how the climate change-adapted living habits of local people can be addressed as an alternative climate change policy. After examining the general outlines of climate change policies addressed in the world with this approach, the effects of the traditions and living habits of local communities on climate change policies will be examined through a literature review.
