The Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere

Exploring Humanity's Future.

We map the systems behind the forces shaping our world — and cultivate the wisdom needed to respond.

ABOUT

We have built a world that is now pushing all life on Earth to its limits. The forces shaping our future on this planet are moving faster than we can comprehend, let alone take adequate action. By mapping the systems behind these forces, the MAHB cultivates the wisdom needed to respond.

WHAT WE DO

Bringing together engaged citizens, researchers, practitioners, and organisations, we ask the hardest questions about where we are headed. We co-create a shared language for the world we are actually living in — navigating the uncertainty, exploring possible futures, and finding where meaningful leverage still exists.

Uniting under-represented voices

We welcome all of progressive civil society — seeking to unite under-represented voices with established experts and leaders in the field.

Promoting equity and justice

Promoting equity and justice in our world is fundamental to solving the human predicament.

Remembering Paul R. Ehrlich

Paul was the founder and inspiration for the MAHB, our leader committed to the power of civil society for change.

He changed our lives and millions more. Our job is to continue to engage with knowledge, intelligence, compassion and wisdom in the complex crisis facing humanity.
