(Announcement Calenda 1174315)

At a time when new environmental standards are being defined, when natural resources are the subject of heated debate, it seems important to revisit the question from a long-term perspective, with an eye to transformations, continuities and discontinuities, accelerations or stagnations, and thresholds of reversibility in the exploitation of resources. These meetings will focus more specifically on the role of natural resources, and not just energy, in these rhythms of development and evolution, in the context of the long history of Western Europe and the Mediterranean region up to the 19th century.
