Environment and History is an interdisciplinary academic journal that focuses on the field of environmental history and aims to provide a comprehensive perspective to explore and understand today's environmental issues by bringing together scholars from the humanities and biological sciences. The journal encourages scholars to adopt a long-term and in-depth historical perspective to analyze environmental change and its impact on human society in order to construct a more comprehensive and well-founded view.

Articles published in the journal not only delve into various aspects of environmental history, such as climate change, resource use, ecosystem change, environmental policy, and the impact of human activities on the natural environment, but also cover historical and modern interpretations of these topics. This interdisciplinary approach helps to uncover the historical roots and evolution of environmental problems, providing historical experiences and lessons for current and future environmental policy and management.
