Nature is under pressure from humans as never before. Population Matters' new, overarching biodiversity campaign, HUMANATURE, calls for action to slow and end human population growth and to protect our precious planet and the species we share it with. Read more here and get involved. 

Population Matters' 2021 report, Welcome to Gilead, examined how policymakers across the world are promoting and implementing policies to increase birth rates that abuse women's reproductive rights. Find the latest developments and news here.

To prevent further biodiversity loss, we must address the impact of our growing human population. In the run-up to the crucial COP15 biodiversity summit later this year, please call on your country’s environment minister to ensure that positive, choice-based population solutions are included in the new global biodiversity agreement.

The UK Government's planned aid cuts will deal a devastating blow to the most vulnerable women and girls. Urge the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to reverse this terrible move.

The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to achieve decent lives for all on a healthy planet by 2030. As things stand, most of them are likely to be missed. This is partly because they fail to address human population growth.

Unsustainable population is a global problem requiring international solutions. Individual nations face their own population challenges, however, and action by national governments will be key to securing a sustainable global population.

As a UK-based organisation, Population Matters is calling on the British government to adopt a globally minded, strategic and ethical Sustainable Population Policy.
