Greetings to the MAHB Community--
Beginning this month, the Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the
Biosphere (MAHB) will be hosting blogs from global thought leaders on
issues associated with the complexity and gravity of the human
predicament caused by threats to sustainability. This is a joint
venture between the MAHB and Sustainability Central at the University
of Technology, Sydney (SC-UTS). Readers of the blogs are encouraged
to join the MAHB forum and comment on the blogs in order to stimulate
discourse. Watch for the upcoming blogs online and in MAHB Flashes.
The first blog post will be sent October 15th and will also be
available at

The blogs will give voice to multiple academic and civil society
perspectives on issues that concern all members of the MAHB-UTS
community. While the MAHB-UTS will author many of the initial blogs,
future posts will be contributed by diverse colleagues to bring a
variety of perspectives and expertise to the discussion.
We hope you will find the blogs useful and will let us know what we
can do to make them increasingly valuable to the global dialog on the
threats that confront us all.
