T he study of the human relationship to the environment is one of the major traditions of geography, bridging physical and human geography, and echoing many of the major debates in the discipline (Manners and Mikesell 1974; Johnston 1983, 1986; Goudie 1986; Kates 1987; Demko 1988; FitzSimmons 1989; Peet and Thrift 1989; Turner 1989; Cooke 1992; Wilbanks 1994). This paper offers some reflections on twenty-five years of continuity and change in the human-environment tradition of geography, and examines how geography has interacted with broader shifts in scholarship and policy on the environment. I have chosen to concentrate on geography and international environmental policy over the last twenty-five years (1972-1997), and especially on global-change research, because this period and theme allows me to provide a more personal perspective on continuities and changes. I discuss policy as well as scholarship because I am interested in how geographers have tried to change the world as well as study it, especially in the international arena. The first part of the paper examines the development of international environmental policy from the 1972 U.N. Stockholm conference to the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, assessing the geographic contributions and the changing nature of geographic research over the period. The second section discusses the contemporary agenda of global-change research and policy, particularly the human dimensions, and proposes ways in which geographers might contribute to improved understanding
