Climates of Empire: Environmental Historians in Conversation with Climate Change Researchers
Centre for World Environmental History
26-27 June 2025 – A 108, Arts A, University of Sussex & Zoom
Climates of Empire will start a fresh conversation between environmental historians and climate change researchers. While environmental change from the early modern period will be central to the discussion, their implications and interpretations for contemporary climate change research and thinking will be at the heart of deliberations. The conference, in essence, intends to explore how the themes of environmental change, global environmentalism, climate change, and debates on the Anthropocene can yield new understandings of our current existential dilemmas.
Contact environmentalhistory@sussex.ac.uk for more information and/or the Zoom link to join online.
