摘要

According to the United Nations Department of Economic Affairs (UNDESA), climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity today. The Jaunsari Tribe is distinct in cultures, traditions, and linguistics and has an attachment to the forest. Climatic shifts are affecting the Jaunsari tribe in several ways, like loss of biodiversity, general decline in the traditional ecological practices, increasing disconnection of the current younger generation from rural life and many more. A field survey from Dehradun District reported the use of 36 medicinal flora in the treatment of fever, cough, indigestion, joint pain, and skin ailments. This research paper examines the impact of climate change on the traditional knowledge of medicinal plants in the Jaunsari tribe living in the Dehradun district through a household survey conducted using the questionnaire prepared. Leaves were the most used plant part, followed by roots and seeds. The importance of climate change mitigation techniques that connect traditional medicinal knowledge systems with contemporary scientific insights to guarantee the sustainable use and preservation of this medicinal flora is emphasized by the findings.
