Who is the MAHB?

Who is the MAHB?

The MAHB is a global network of groups and individuals who are committed to the mission of the MAHB and want to initiate concrete actions. The MAHB relies on the leadership of a small Coordinating Committee and the expertise of its network of public intellectuals, thought leaders, scholars, activists, and individuals actively engaged in shifting the trajectory currently heading towards collapse.

Working across disciplines, these individuals foster foresight intelligence to help solve interconnected global problems of over population, growth based economic systems, over consumption by the wealthy, inequity and environmental degradation of all kinds. This includes  vulnerability to pandemics, other pressures degrading the biosphere upon which we all depend and reinforcing destructive outdated economic systems and behavioral norms.

Members of the MAHB Coordinating Committee bring their expertise and experience to actively help build the MAHB.
