Climate change is not only a physical process but also a social and cultural transformation that reshapes how people understand themselves, others, and their environment. In refer-ence to Thorsten Heimann (2017), collectively shared perceptions, knowledge, and prac-tices of vulnerability and resilience can be called a climate culture embedded in specific spa-tial, historical, and political contexts. Using an ethnographic approach, this paper examines the west-Hungarian village of Bakonyszentlászló as a case study to explore how a local com-munity constructs its climate culture and how vulnerability, resilience, and knowledge in-terrelate in everyday practices. Our findings highlight that local perceptions of climate change are shaped strongly through situated experiences of loss, adaptation, and power asymmetries. We argue that these processes form part of a broader environmental culture that links ecological, social, and political dimensions and reshapes how communities relate to their environment, to institutions, and to themselves.
