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.

270 million women and girls worldwide have an unmet need for modern contraceptives but global family planning funding falls short. Join us in urging the G20 leaders to commit sufficient funding to the UNFPA. 

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.

To prevent further biodiversity loss, we must address the impact of our growing human population. Please call on your country’s environment minister to support the inclusion of positive, choice-based population action in the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework.

We now live in the 'Anthropocene' - the age in which the main force altering the planet itself is us. Human population growth is one of the key drivers of those changes. It's vital that people understand what is happening to the Earth and how we can change it. Help us to spread the word.

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.
