“…In the HfE Manifesto published in this journal (Holm et al 2015), we stated that we would "work to ensure that the next IPCC report in 2021 is informed by humanities perspectives on the New Human Condition. To foster this aim the Observatories will produce a mid-term regional perspectives report in 2017.…”

“…"The Humanities for the Environment-A Manifesto for Research and Action" (Holm et al 2015) highlights how public responses to the crisis of the Anthropocene range from denial to despair and from alarmism to an instinctual belief in our ability to cope.

Religion and the Environment: Twenty-First Century American Evangelicalism and the Anthropocene

This paper provides an overview of the emergence of religion and the environment as an area of academic research and an assessment of the potential role religion can play in addressing anthropogenic climate change. Focusing on the United States of America the study traces the dynamics of anthropogenic climate change denial and offers an overview of the complex and far-reaching evangelical endeavours that seek to limit solutions and approaches to address global change issues. While much research has explored the positive role religion can play in addressing climate change, little research explores the lengths to which American evangelicals have sought to stymie climate change activism within their ranks and the potential political impact of their endeavours. As such the paper fits neatly with the theme of "Humanities for the Environment" special edition and has the capacity to contribute new insights on the impact of religion and the environment.

“…Let us not forget the often highly colonial, disruptive and even violent history of conservation Sandlos, 2007) -which has led to the critiques of the social impacts of conservation mentioned earlier. The arts and humanities can provide us with the concepts and techniques to innovate and re-imagine a more socially just, culturally appropriate and, indeed, beautiful way of imagining and achieving conservation (Brennan, 2018;Holm et al, 2015;Polfus et al, 2017). What we are refering to here is the full transformative potential of conservation, which is already an act of resistance.…”

Conservation actions most often occur in peopled seascapes and landscapes. As a result, conservation decisions cannot rely solely on evidence from the natural sciences, but must also be guided by the social sciences, the arts and the humanities. However, we are concerned that too much of the current attention is on research that serves an instrumental purpose, by which we mean that the social sciences are used to justify and promote status quo conservation practices. The reasons for engaging the social sciences, as well as the arts and the humanities, go well beyond making conservation more effective. In this editorial, we briefly reflect on how expanding the types of social science research and the contributions of the arts and the humanities can help to achieve the transformative potential of conservation.Keywords: conservation social science; environmental social science; conservation science; environmental humanities; environmental ethics; conservation policy _____________________________________________________________________ Conservation actions most often occur in peopled seascapes and landscapes. As a result, conservation decisions cannot rely solely on evidence from the natural sciences, but must also be guided by the social sciences, the arts and the humanities. The welldocumented risks and harms of ignoring the human dimensions of conservation are substantial, with past conservation initiatives engaging in exclusionary planning and implementation processes, producing significant negative social impacts and leading to

Abstract: Human preferences, practices and actions are the main drivers of global environmental change in the 21st century. It is crucial, therefore, to promote pro-environmental behavior. In order to accomplish this, we need to move beyond rational
