The evolution of science and technology and its impacts on natural resources have been described from different perspectives. For many researchers, this phenomenon was conceptualized as Anthropocene, which refers to the impact of human activities on the environment, especially in the use and transformation of landscapes and natural resources. The impacts of humanity on the functioning of the planetary environment are visible, right from the beginning of the industrial and technological revolution. This phenomenon allowed science and technology to be seen as inseparable processes. The perplexity between the expansion of knowledge and socioenvironmental engagement remains one of the most dramatic contemporary dilemmas. The developmental problems and its relation to technology, innovation, and environmental sustainability compose parts of these perplexities. In this manner, this dossier targets works that promote dialogue between the development, technological innovation with sustainability in its different dimensions (social, economic, ecological, spatial and cultural). The problems of technological evolution with increasing environmental issues is a wake-up call for researches that investigate the use and conservation of natural resources.

O 3RD WORLD CONGRESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY convida acadêmicos de diferentes áreas do conhecimento para incluirmos a história ambiental em uma perspectiva planetária. As categorias “Sul e Norte Global” foram criadas no século XX e são historicamente conhecidas. Elas apontam para a diversidade e a desigualdade das sociedades humanas passadas e presentes, e como elas transformaram suas paisagens, exploraram os seus recursos naturais e se conectaram umas com as outras. Os desafios colocados por essas conexões e a dinâmica de comunidades humanas e não humanas ganharam urgência no que tem sido chamado de a “Era da Grande Aceleração”. Desde os pioneiros estudos sobre a história dos rios, das cidades, das montanhas, florestas e da agricultura, até as narrativas mundiais sobre transmigração de plantas, animais, doenças, pessoas e mercadorias, historiadores e outros pesquisadores do campo das humanidades ambientais, têm contribuído para o debate, cada vez mais recorrente, sobre como enfrentar os desafios ambientais do século XXI. O comitê organizador WCEH2019 tem por objetivo promover um espaço de debates que favoreça o diálogo interdisciplinar. Desta forma, convidamos aos pesquisadores para que apresentem propostas de trabalho que privilegiem o diálogo entre os diferentes participantes e que envolva tópicos relacionados às diferenças de geracionais, geográficas e de gênero.

As human beings, we are closely linked to our environment. We influence nature and we are influenced by it. In recent decades there has been a growing awareness of the effect that human intervention on the environment may have on human health, especially in the context of the Anthropocene. In short, the creation of new epidemiological profiles that are researched from a historical perspective and an interdisciplinary perspective, will allow us to understand and propose actions that improve the environment and, consequently, human well-being. This call for articles focuses on the following areas of study: environmental history, history of public health and medicine, environmental change and pollution by human action, effects of pollution on health and human well-being. We welcome contributions focusing on episodes of impact on the oceans, environments and continents, including historical perspectives, theoretical reflections on the subject, environmental, social, cultural, political and economic analysis.

Dossier “History, Science and Nature”
The relation between History, Science and Nature is extremely dynamic and interdisciplinary, allowing a deeper knowledge on the uses of the planet and Nature (Earth / Oceans / Seas). Through the analysis of the last we intend to develop a transnational and comparative perspective of the History of Sciences and Technologies. We also intend to understand Nature as a way of modernization of the economic, social, scientific and cultural activities of the different States and Nations. Nature also seen as an agent of new practices and sociabilities, representative of new philosophical and social ideals, in which the production, circulation and appropriation of knowledge and techniques is a reality, creating important networks that unite the Mediterranean world with the Ibero-American world and Africa. This call gives preference to the following scientific areas: Transnational History; History of Science and Technology; Internationalization of Science and Scientific Internationalism; Museums and Scientific Collections; Spaces and Actors of Science; Scientific and Cultural Diplomacy; History of Colonialism; History of Natural Sciences; History of Health Sciences; History of the Environment; History of Meteorology; Seas and Oceans.

Dossier “Management of Water Resources and Protected Territories”
Protected areas are territories dedicated to the protection of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and cultural values. These territories are the main instrument for nature conservation around the world. However, behind this concept are unveiled major challenges ranging from territorial governance, ecosystem management and conflict management. A key point for effective management of protected areas is the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary understanding of socio-environmental and institutional systems: water resources, vegetation, soil, climate, fauna, infrastructure, and human resources. Water management is another challenge of our time, due to the demands and conflicts over water use and crisis that affect several Brazilian regions. To overcome this situation, it is important to implement the systemic-participatory model in the water management, with decentralization, social participation and integration between segments and institutions. This dossier is open to the presentation of articles that discuss and use these concepts in an interdisciplinary way and contribute to the better governance of protected areas and water resources.

Dossier "Territories and landscapes in Latin America"
Territory and landscape are two concepts used in social and environmental sciences to encompass a vast field of spatiotemporal interdisciplinary issues. Traditionally used by geographers, these concepts have been appropriate in recent decades by ecologists and historians, among other experts. Although illuminate different dimensions of reality, the concept of territory and, above all, the landscape have important contact point; it development allows a more complex view of spatiality and materiality of human societies throughout the time. Territory and landscape are concepts that link the social sciences with the natural sciences, the human world with the nonhuman and time with space. Both are dynamic and complex concepts that require theoretical and methodological interdisciplinary approaches. Both allow a wide range of approaches to address highly complex systems that realize relationships that reflect the multiplicity of interactions between societies and nature. The study and application of these concepts in specific places is an interdisciplinary challenge able to make important contributions to the understanding of the socio-ecological processes in a changing world and Latin America.
Following these ideas this dossier is open to the submission of articles that discuss and use these interdisciplinary concepts to better understand the past and present of Latin America.

Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as the variability among living organisms from all sources, including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part. It covers the diversity between species, within species, and ecosystems. Biodiversity can be seen in its wild aspect and as domesticated biodiversity, agro-biodiversity. Both have a practically endless range of combinations, organized into highly complex webs, relationships that reflect the diversity in nature and in the interactions between humans and nature, ethnocultural diversity. The biodiversity web is threatened, at all levels, and as without it there is no life or ecological processes, the great challenge is to know how to equate the use and conservation of biodiversity that remains. This dossier is open to articles that discuss this topic of Use and Biodiversity Conservation.
