We offered virtual screenings of the five-part documentary Earth Emergency: Feedback Loops in summer 2021, along with a series of webinars featuring scientists in the film and other experts discussing what they've learned about feedback loops, their environmental and social impacts, and proposed solutions.
The COVID-19 pandemic magnified social, economic, and environmental issues that were once out of focus. Among the communities disproportionately affected by the pandemic, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities faced severe challenges that continue to leave a lasting impact today.
At this critical moment, Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Smithsonian’s Asian Pacific American Center teamed up for a virtual three-part series in fall 2022 to reckon with and reflect on these challenges and highlight the intricate relationship between humans and nature, and with each other, to enact community wellbeing, environmental justice, and social change.
