MAHB Newsletter for February 2023

Greetings to the MAHB Community,   

Check out what’s happening: An opinion poll showing that public awareness of a Nuclear Winter is too low given current risks; Julian Cribb’s new book How To Fix A Broken Planet, and an 8-week online well-being course on Forest Bathing, starting March 6 (no forest required!)

Read this month’s blogs about solutions to resolving conflicts between farmers and wildlife in conservation areas; the important role of plankton in keeping the Earth habitable; an art blog on navigating futures; why family planning is crucial for breaking the intergenerational poverty cycle, and how we could build a world that’s worth living. Also, check out our arts section.

Our resources include articles by Paul Ehrlich on what should be taught in every school but isn’t; why we should move towards a planetary right to health; an optimistic story of population decline (at last); why Europe’s industry increasingly moves toward heat pumps, and why limits are loveable after all.

Listen to two new Our New World podcasts – one with climate activist and poet Ashley Gore and another with young heiress and multimillionaire Marlene Engelhorn (and why she wants to be taxed more but isn’t).

Also, tune in to Nate Hagens’ latest TGS episodes, for example, with environmental peacemaker and mediator Olivia Lazard on the relationship between minerals, conflict-vulnerable zones, and high biodiversity areas that pose risks to geopolitical and climate stability.

Don’t forget to check out the latest MAHB announcements here.
