Why We Must Talk About Population
In his provocative response to David Roberts’ article on
Self-Censorship on Overpopulation, Erik Assadourian warns of the urgency of stabilising the global population. Writing for the
Millennium Alliance for Humanity and Biosphere, he suggests that instead of accepting a stabilisation of population growth at 9.5 or 10 billion, a long-term plan is needed to get population back to a manageable range. Some scientists have suggested the ideal population range to be around 1-3 billion, depending on how badly damaged the Earth’s systems have become, and that a
Framework Convention on Population Growth should be considered, to accompany the
Framework Convention on Climate Change so that all countries can assume ownership.
