Each of the other observatories\u2014in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Circumpolar North, East Asia, Europe and Australia-Pacific\u2014is pursuing a theme specific to its region and local interests. The aim of the HFE Observatories, funded in their first phase by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is to identify, explore and demonstrate the contributions that humanistic and artistic disciplines can make to understanding and engaging with global environmental challenges. HFE research and projects illustrate how the humanities are changing to meet the challenges of the 21st century as they contribute significantly to the development of social, economic and science policy addressing environmental issues in civil and academic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"uds-button \">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/hfe-observatories.org\/observatories\/north-american-observatory\/%20\" class=\"btn  btn-maroon \" data-ga=\"Visit the site\" data-ga-name=\"onclick\" data-ga-event=\"link\" data-ga-action=\"click\" data-ga-type=\"external link\" data-ga-region=\"main content\" data-ga-section=\"button\" data-component=\"button\"    >Visit the site <\/a>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 order-1 order-md-2 mb-6 mb-md-0\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group border has-gray-7-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-42bcd829 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2)\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore this project<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#summary\">Summary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#personnel\">Personnel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#funding\">Funding<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#timeline\">Timeline<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"personnel\">Personnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-humanities-for-the-environment wp-block-embed-humanities-for-the-environment\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"cGupqoZVGd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/humanities-for-the-environment\/people\/\">People<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;People&#8221; &#8212; Humanities for the Environment\" src=\"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/humanities-for-the-environment\/people\/embed\/#?secret=fehHNP6PKa#?secret=cGupqoZVGd\" data-secret=\"cGupqoZVGd\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"funding\">Funding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list uds-list\">\n<li>Andrew H.
