One calls attention to two pressing existential threats: nuclear war and the climate crisis. Traubman and Myers argue that despite various efforts to mitigate these concerns, society is not doing enough to truly address them. Failure to do so, means the world is headed toward sudden extinction by nuclear war or ecological degradation. The authors hope to encourage readers to make another choice by taking actions now that will ensure the next generations have a better future.
In May 2026, World BEYOND War will be holding a weekly discussion each of four weeks of the book ONE: One Earth, One Humanity, One Future, with the authors Winslow Myers and Libby Traubman.

About the Book:
Eighty years beyond the first use of a nuclear weapon on civilians and fifty-five years beyond the first Earth Day, the community of nations has not yet fully addressed the dual existential threats of nuclear war and the climate crisis. We cling to the illusion that the most secure are those with the most destructive weapons, even though possessing the fastest missiles or the most warheads does nothing to ensure a livable planet. If large swaths of the earth become too hot for survival, what difference will it make who wins the arms race? We all want to avoid sudden extinction by nuclear war or gradual ecological degradation. Based on this planet-wide alignment of interest—a “no” to war and a “yes” to the regeneration of the Earth conceived as a single overarching goal—ONE offers a hopeful way forward.
