The relationship between people and the natural environment has always been one of the central concerns of geography. From a somewhat disreputable past, tainted with the excesses of environmental determinism, we have arrived at a situation in which many geographers are centrally engaged in debates about environmental issues and policies.

We focus in this chapter on those areas in which human geographers, alongside other social scientists, have made important contributions to the debate.
