Latin American countries currently appear as important players in international discussions on the environment and climate: they are sometimes actors of political and legal innovations in this area, sometimes catalysts of several issues linked to ecological preservation and the future of the planet, such as deforestation, mining, and agriculture. History and its multiple interpretations are at the heart of international environmental politics, where most discussions and agreements allude to and draw conclusions from the role played by different actors in the past. This conference offers a discussion on how the environment emerged as a major subject in international relations from the 1970s and how this has shaped North-South relations in this area until now. What was the place of Latin American states, but also of their civil society, in the evolution of their relationships? How to think about the international issues of the Anthropocene, from Latin America? We offer a historical look at these themes and the place of Latin America at the heart of the debates on the causes and responsibilities of the current environmental and climate emergency, and on its solutions.
