Visioning the Environmental Humanities as a Community of Purpose.

Global Observatories
Each observatory is organized organically according to its own strengths, priorities and endemic communities of purpose, as well as in response to the particular challenges facing the region it represents.



Building Partnerships in the Humanities
Our observatories have established a number of important humanities-led partnerships with international organizations, universities and institutes promoting social and environmental justice, sustainable global and regional transformations, and research and action to deliver the SDGs.
Together they provide cross-regional platforms for sharing knowledge, understanding and vital new approaches to building a just and sustainable world.
