In pursuit of a healthier planet, there is no issue more neglected than our growing population. Every human’s environmental impact is multiplied per person. That's 7.9 billion multiplications and counting. But what if the solution was more support for women’s rights? Yes, it's a win-win.

    Situation

    It’s scientifically accepted that humans caused the sixth mass extinction and the climate crisis, but few are willing to say that it's because more people need more space, more people produce more climate emissions, more people produce more waste and pollution, more people need more food… but a sustainable population would enable a fairer share for everyone. Empowering women and improving access to modern family planning should be considered an essential solution to help save our planet.

    Solution

    Population Matters is the only UK charity talking about the environmental impact of our numbers and the positive solutions available to make an immediate difference to people’s lives and the natural world. We must raise more support for the issue and the positive solutions available must become an essential part of global commitments to save our planet. How wonderful would it be to look back and find improving women's lives across the world helped resolve our environmental crises?
