This article provides a review of recent anthropological, archeological, geographical, and sociological research on anthropogenic drivers of climate change, with a particular focus on drivers of carbon emissions, mitigation and adaptation. The four disciplines emphasize cultural, economic, geographic, historical, political, and social‐structural factors to be important drivers of and responses to climate change. Each of these disciplines has unique perspectives and makes noteworthy contributions to our shared understanding of anthropogenic drivers, but they also complement one another and contribute to integrated, multidisciplinary frameworks. The article begins with discussions of research on temporal dimensions of human drivers of carbon emissions, highlighting interactions between long‐term and near‐term drivers. Next, descriptions of the disciplines' contributions to the understanding of mitigation and adaptation are provided. It concludes with a summary of key lessons offered by the four disciplines as well as suggestions for future research.

关于全球气候变化的驱动因素和应对措施的社会科学观点。

本文回顾了近期关于气候变化的人为驱动因素的人类学、考古学、地理学和社会学研究，特别关注碳排放、缓解和适应的驱动因素。这四个学科强调文化、经济、地理、历史、政治和社会结构因素是气候变化的重要驱动因素和应对措施。每个学科都有独特的视角，为我们对人为驱动因素的共同理解做出了显着的贡献，但它们也相互补充，为综合的多学科框架做出了贡献。本文首先讨论了人类碳排放驱动因素的时间维度的研究，强调了长期驱动因素和近期驱动因素之间的相互作用。接下来，描述了各学科对理解缓解和适应的贡献。最后总结了四个学科提供的主要经验教训以及对未来研究的建议。
