Together, we can do something about it

Question

The UN’s projections show that very small changes in the size of families across the globe make an enormous difference – between a population of 7 billion and an unthinkable 16 billion by the end of the century.

We can achieve a sustainable global population when communities, governments and organisations take action to enable people to choose smaller families through women’s empowerment and easy access to high quality education and family planning. By doing so, we can ensure that, in the future, everyone can have a decent standard of living on a healthy planet.

Population Matters is putting population on the global agenda, bringing the issue to an international audience through our campaigning, education and research.

While big organizations can have an impact on the global scale, students like you can have an impact in your communities. What are some ways you can contribute to the awareness of high population and the impact it is having on our planet? (2-3 sentences)

Answer 1

As a student, you can contribute to the awareness of high population and its impact on our planet by educating yourself and others on the issue through presentations, discussions, or workshops. You can also engage in local initiatives or organizations that focus on sustainable development, reproductive health, or environmental conservation to promote awareness and action within your community.
