key issues and stake holders early in the life of proposal, so that
potentially adverse impacts can be addressed before final approval
decisions are made.

Until relatively recently with a few notable exceptions ,it focused on
proposed physical developments such as highways, power stations,
water resource projects and large scale industrial facilities. Slowly but
increasingly, its scope of application of expanding to include policies,
plan and other actions which also form parts of the development process.
However, there is no doubt that the role of the results of this process
(in report form) at the permitting or authorizing stage is very important
because it is at this point that environmental impact assessment after
enters formal, statutory decision-making systems. The overall
effectiveness of environmental impact assessment and related studies is
enhanced if they incorporate a systematic analysis of reasonable
alternatives. Basically, development objectives can be achieved, often,
in the variety of ways.
Roads, highways, bridges, dams, walls and building projects are life
line of any country. They are also important for the building the nation
and are mirror of countrys development. However, most of these
projects on account of their location, route alignment and associated
activities are invariably accompanied by significant environmental and
social impacts during different phases (pre-construction, construction
and operational phase) of the project.

The most potent of the greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2),
carbon mono oxide (CO), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), chloro
floro carbon (CFC), sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen fluoride (HF),
hydrogen chloride (HCL), arsenic (As), boron (B), and lead (Pb). These
green house effect gases cause ozone depletion, melting of polar ice,
smog and many other environmental problems, this have direct effect on
climate change.
Anthropologists provide fundamental understanding of the culturally-
grounded behaviors that contribute to decrease the effects of green house
gas emissions and to cultural, social and economic processes that result
in human vulnerability or resilience to climate change impacts on human
beings such as acid rain, drought, famine, flood, unseasonal rain,
immigration, disease, death etcwith collaboration of civil engineers,
chemical engineers, environmental engineers, water and hydrological
engineers atmospheric and earth scientists. Anthropology as a science
has vital and crucial role on controlling climate change and general
unseasonal conditions by defining well designed ways like diverting
green house gas emissions, forestation, proper disposal ways of
industrial solid and liquid wastes and converting it to usable forms,
proper usage of row materials that has high emission and production of
pollutant gases. Finally from anthropological aspect climate change is
caused by human activity around 99%. So by controlling our activities
and by following modified ways to solve problems arises from those
activities to multi usable forms we can handle climate change.
