The world is changing at a rapid pace. Scientists have documented significant changes during the past century in climate, land-use and biodiversity that are unprecedented over the past thousand years. These changes are also occurring at a time of rapid social, economic, political and technological transformation. To examine this phenomenon through the lenses of science, society and culture, the Smithsonian is hosting a symposium with leading experts in the fields of science, culture, history and art.
