Mission

It’s too late for talk, the only hope is ACTION! The crisis is now! If we ACT NOW, we can sustain humanity’s future!

What is a Node?

A MAHB Node is a group of people, usually at least one natural scientist and one social scientist/humanities scholar, committed to shifting human behavior in ways that foster environmental sustainability and the health of the ecosystem services upon which all life depends. The group is also committed to building and then disseminating a body of knowledge about how this can be accomplished. In short, nodes embrace MAHB’s mission.
