Abstract
Environmental issues have gained considerable political relevance nowadays: they influence both the political agenda and the economic strategies of the States. The relationship between politics and the environment, therefore, deserves to be investigated from a historical perspective. This introductory essay considers the possible convergence between environmental history and political history, paying particular attention, from a historical standpoint, to the emergence of environmental sensitivities in the political sphere.
