The Millennium Alliance for
Humanity & the Biosphere

Responding to the human predicament.

Empowering Voices

We believe all citizens of the world should have the opportunity and empowerment to engage with the pressing challenges our society faces.

Engaging Leaders

We welcome all of progressive civil society into the conversation on the human predicament – seeking to unite under-represented voices with established experts and leaders in the field.

Equity & Justice

The MAHB believes that promoting equity and justice in our world is fundamental to solving the human predicament.
