Abstract: In 2024, the Diálogos journal addresses the theme “Environment and Society”. By environment, it is understood as the set of conditions, influences, and natural, artificial, physical, chemical, biological, economic, and socio-cultural elements that affect and interact, directly or indirectly, with living beings and their activities in a given space. In light of this, articles were selected that explore the interaction between the environment and areas such as education, teacher training, ecological awareness, economic impacts, and youth. The analyses are grounded in various theoretical perspectives, such as pedagogy, sociology, economics, philosophy, international relations, and history. Furthermore, the texts offer a variety of contexts and experiences, both from Timor-Leste and other countries. Reflecting on the relationship between the environment and society has been a "current" theme for several decades. However, we are now experiencing a period in which the climate emergency has intensified. The urgent need to seek sustainable alternatives to the prevailing production model and to establish a less predatory relationship with the environment and natural resources is becoming increasingly evident. Timor-Leste faces various challenges in this regard. To develop effective public policies and implement structural changes in society, it is essential to understand the historical context, sensitivities, emotions, and worldviews involved in this process, as well as the materiality of the direct experiences of the individuals that comprise the social group.
