  abstract = {{G}iven the wicked environmental and sustainability challenges we face today, the need for a cross-disciplinary, science-society approach is increasingly undisputed. {Y}et, is the development of the distinct research fields of sustainability science ({S}ust{S}ci) and the environmental humanities ({E}nv{H}um) another example of academic silos? {I}n this study, we conducted a comprehensive science mapping of the literature to explore the overlap or compartmentalization of these fields. {S}tandardized search strings submitted in the {W}eb of {S}cience allowed us to gather a total of 2076 publications, including 1678 for {S}ust{S}ci and 398 for {E}nv{H}um, from which we explored the social, intellectual and conceptual structures of the two fields. {T}he results indicated that {S}ust{S}ci and {E}nv{H}um are nourished by distinct research communities (distinct authors and journals) and rely on different epistemological legacies. {I}n addition, results showed that the two research fields focus on similar challenges (e.g. climate change and biodiversity decline), but with contrasting approaches. {S}ust{S}ci combines natural and social sciences to address sustainability as a systemic problem, while {E}nv{H}um combines social sciences and the humanities, approaching it as a power and values issue. {N}onetheless, a comprehensive analysis suggested that they also share key aims: bridging the nature-culture divide, transforming socio-political relationships, and taking into account values, affects and imaginaries. {I}n light of these results, we finally discuss the opportunities and challenges for mutual enrichment between {S}ust{S}ci and {E}nv{H}um around these three shared goals, which might foster a strengthened response to the crises we face.},
