The relationships between the "environment" and "labour" are complex. On the one hand, they are highly conflictual. Thus, the impact of economic growth on natural resources, climate change, and even health may lead to its being called into question, particularly in terms of industrial employment. On the other hand, these relationships stimulate reflections on consumption and production patterns, productive organisations, and the responsibilities/liabilities of private and public stakeholders, from government administrations to enterprises… This ambivalence is not a new phenomenon, but it has been singularly intensified by the depletion of natural resources on a global scale, leading to an increasing vulnerability of people and their environment. For this reason, it is important to develop innovative, multidisciplinary research to understand how this ambivalence has grown, is evolving, being regulated, etc., in a new space-time format.
