What is it about?
This is an introduction to the major policy issues and research agendas that are emerging in the overlap between cultural and environmental policy. This covers a range of interactions, from artists addressing themes of environmental degradation, through to heritage professionals trying to preserve historic landscapes, cultural institutions trying to reduce their carbon footprint and economists seeking to conceptualise the value of non-market goods.

Why is it important?
It is important given the urgency around global threats such as climate change and bio-diversity loss, which means that environmental policy can no longer be the exclusive preserve of the life sciences. Rather those working in social sciences and arts and humanities need to be increasingly concerned with the issues.
Perspectives
This introduction, and the special issue of Cultural Trends which it introduces, brings together a wide range of different disciplines and academic approaches and will hopefully spur greater collaboration and innovative research across the two fields.
