Italian and German scholars have made significant contributions in the field of environmental history over the last decades. They have often focused on many of the same topics in their research, most importantly in the fields of “transformation of landscapes,” “urban environmental history” (including pollution), and “natural catastrophes.” This event will bring together younger and established scholars from the two countries for the first time to discuss explicitly the similarities and differences between their national-environmental histories, the challenges faced by the subdiscipline today, and ways in which environmental history is relevant today and will be in the future.
