Does Environmental History Matter? explores the territory of climate history and environmentalism through its methodology and historiography, focusing on its origins and usefulness in the contemporary world as well as its multidisciplinary character. The chapters brought together in this volume examine numerous issues in the context of the ongoing global climate crisis and analyse how such disasters are caused by the complex relationship between humans and the environment. Through their writings, the contributors thus call for a greater understanding of the connections between natural disasters and human-led activities such hunting, land use, deforestation, soil erosion, and overconsumption of resources.
